The revolutionary packaging replacing EPS Polystyrene
October 1st 2023 saw us bid a cheery goodbye to EPS Polystyrene Food Containers, Plates and Single use White Plastic Cutlery as they are now banned as part of the UK drive to help us become more sustainable. The Government list of banned items included Polystyrene / EPS Food Containers and quite rightly so as they can’t be recycled and end up in landfill.
As soon as we heard of the ban (which has been spoken about since before all the lockdowns) we started researching eco-friendly alternatives. One particular range has the key benefits of EPS Kebab, Meal & Burger Boxes with the added benefit of being fully recyclable after use.
KP Infinity™ food packaging looks, feels and behaves just like Polystyrene; it has thermal insulating properties, is lightweight and competitively priced. Except it’s made of something completely different – virgin Expanded Polypropylene.
Manufactured in the UK from a single form of plastic, it can be easily recycled many times over through existing waste streams as Polypropylene is widely used in the food packaging industry. KP Infinity™ needs no specialist treatment and it doesn’t need to be separated from other Polypropylene Food Containers at recycling plants. Most important of all it won’t end up in landfill. In order to be absolutely sure, KP Infinity™ containers have been tested by both Biffa and Veolia and they both agreed that the containers could pass through existing recycling setups without issue.
