Cascades launches 100 percent recycled, recyclable thermoformed cardboard food tray

This container joins the range of cardboard trays launched by Cascades in 2019. It sets itself apart by using thermoforming, which gives it an optimal design for automated food packaging without compromising on equipment performance. Its rigidity has been tested to ensure that the tray is compatible with automatic unstacking, in addition to working on high-speed systems, the company says. Its large stacking capacity speeds up filling and optimizes transport and storage.

Luc Langevin, president and chief operating officer of Cascades Specialty Products Group, says, "We have always believed that eco-responsibility and performance can go hand in hand. This innovative product accomplishes both: it is a high-performance solution for food packaging, which at the same time helps conserve resources. Our goal is to pursue, along with our customers, a large-scale transformation of food packaging for the benefit of the environment."
