2 SWITCH TO THE ENVIRONMENTALLY RESPONSIBLE SOLUTIONS TM Replace your foam trays with repeteable TM and rehdpeable trays. Polystyrene (PS) trays are not suitable recycling candidates. But our innovative sustainable food packaging solutions are designed to perform like foam trays and can be recycled with all curbside recycling programs. That s because repeteable and rehdpeable trays are produced using recycled materials that are also 100% recyclable. The immense use of PET in beverage containers and HDPE in household products guarantees there is always an available source of clean recycled material. These packaging alternatives can help you meet the demands of a growing demographic who is more aware and sensitive to using sustainable, environmentally conscious materials.

3 THIS IS PERSONAL As packaging professionals, we believe it is our duty to seek ways to promote landfill avoidance. We understand that the materials we make need to have an end-of-life other than the landfill. If we re creating disposable products, it is preferable for them to be made with recycled materials that are universally accepted for curbside collection and recycling, and not intended for the landfill. So we ve been busy finding innovative ways to turn plastic into more products. MAKE THE CHOICE TO SWITCH Start now and sell your early adoption to your customers progressivepackaging.com th Ave North Suite 35, Plymouth, MN

4 repeteabletm PET // RECYCLED MATERIAL TRAYS repeteable TRAYS are made of the #1 recycled material (PET) in the world, a material that can be recycled multiple times. They offer: Superior clarity Oxygen barrier Rigidity Material stability in refrigeration Lightweight strength Ability to withstand automatic wrapper pressures and guard against film slitting No O2, thereby facilitating the low O2 master bag process Availability in a variety of colors and any size you need We have designed the repeteable tray with a unique and patented top flange specifically to de-nest and run on high-speed overwrap equipment without cutting the plastic wrap. rehdpeabletm HDPE // RECYCLED MATERIAL TRAYS rehdpeable TRAYS are made of the #2 recycled material (HDPE) and can stand up to extreme temperatures. They offer: Excellent freezer performance Microwaveability Lightweight strength that is impact resistant and shatterproof Malleability Ability to withstand automatic wrapper pressures and guard against film slitting No O2, thereby facilitating the low O2 master bag process Availability in a variety of colors and any size you need

5 THE PROBLEMS WITH PS FOAM Not only is PS foam not produced with recyclable materials, there is no economic value to recycling it post-use. It s destination is the landfill. Therefore, municipalities across the country have legislated bans on PS foam, and many other communities are in the process of considering such bans. In 2011, the Retail Council of Canadian Grocers mandated the use of all PET disposable packaging over other clear resins that contaminate the recycling stream. States with cities/ counties that have banned plastic foam States with cities that are considering banning plastic foam PET is found in: Soft drink containers Juice packaging Single serve water bottles Plastic beer bottles PET is recycled into: New soft drink bottles Polyester clothing Sleeping bag insulation Carpeting Nearly 1.8 billion pounds of PET were recycled in 2013, and over 1.5 billion pounds of recycled PET material were used in the manufacture of U.S. and Canadian end products. 1 HDPE is found in: Milk jugs Detergent bottles Ice cream pails 5-gallon buckets HDPE is recycled into: Outdoor furniture Playground equipment Park benches Plastic lumber Nearly all curbside recycling programs today in the U.S. accept HDPE bottles, which has helped HDPE bottles break the billion pound mark for recycling in National Association for PET Container Resources (NAPCOR).
