Graham Packaging Introduces New PET Food Jar Product

Graham Packaging Company, L.P., has introduced the first clear PET multilayer plastic jar with a wide-mouth finish and barrier properties suitable for hot-packed food products. Previously these products were only available in glass containers.

The container includes post-consumer and post-industrial recycled materials, and the oxygen barrier material can be separated from the PET in the recycling process and taken out of the recycling stream. The SurShot multilayer barrier system has been recognized as recyclable by PET Container Recycling Europe.
