Fabri-Kal is committed to producing packaging in the most safe and environmentally responsible manner possible. From our use of new and innovative materials to our ability to reduce unnecessary packaging through design and manufacturing capabilities, Fabri-Kal has many options available for producing sustainable packaging solutions. Material options currently available include the use of APET and PLA resins. APET is a crystal clear, lightweight material suitable for many foodservice and CPG applications. As a resin code 1, APET is recyclable in most communities. PLA is a resin derived entirely from corn. Created by NatureWorks® LLC, this material is 100% compostable and may break down within 60 days in the appropriate conditions. PLA possesses the functional properties of APET including excellent clarity, stiffness and oxygen barrier of APET while being completely sustainable through annual corn harvests. Reduce, Reuse and Recycle are the action pillars of responsible packaging. Fabri-Kal can help eliminate unnecessary packaging while maintaining product protection through the use of software testing before any tooling is created. And, through the use of pre and post-consumer recycled materials, your packaging can be a model of environmentally conscious packaging. Fabri-Kal is constantly testing new materials and manufacturing techniques to provide the latest opportunities for more environmentally responsible packaging.
