TriStar unveils rPET sandwich display pack

Food service packaging specialist TriStar has launched a new range of sandwich packs made from 50% recycled PET.


The dome-shaped pack has a black base that acts as a tray and a clear, anti-fogging lid to present quarter cut sandwiches and maximise impulse purchases.

Managing director Kevin Curran said he expected the product to be a successful addition to the firm's portfolio. "The dome-shaped sandwich pack will help forward-thinking retailers stay one step ahead of their competitors."

As well as being suitable for in-line packing, the pack is made from more than 50% recycled PET, which Curran said benefited from there already being a collection, sorting and recycling infrastructure in place.

"Being environmentally sustainable, rPET will help replace consumption of virgin PET and stop the need to send large quantities of post consumer waste to landfill or offshore sites," he said.
