A product developed by Georgia-Pacific’s Innovation Institute is being marketed to the poultry industry as an alternative to waxed boxes. The Greenshield moisture barrier can deliver both strength and recyclability, according to the company.
“Greenshield is just one example of Georgia-Pacific’s commitment to deliver innovative packaging and supply chain solutions to our customers,” says Christian Fischer, a senior vice president with the company. “Over the last year, we’ve tested this solution in the poultry industry and have shipped more than two million pounds of deli chicken successfully.”
According to a news release from Georgia-Pacific, Atlanta, the firm’s Innovation Institute led the development and testing of Greenshield, including in the customer and manufacturing trial stages.
