Why choose PET thermoformed plastic sheet rolls for vegetable and fruit packaging boxes?

As global environmental awareness grows, the food packaging industry is facing the important challenge of transitioning to sustainable development. As an innovative packaging material, PET (polyethylene terephthalate) thermoformed plastic sheet rolls are gradually becoming the first choice for vegetable and fruit packaging due to their environmentally friendly characteristics and sustainable advantages.

Advantages of PET thermoformed plastic sheet rolls for vegetable and fruit packaging boxes

The following are the outstanding advantages of PET thermoformed plastic sheet rolls in environmental protection and sustainable development:

1. 100% recyclable, reducing plastic pollution

• PET material is one of the plastics with the highest recycling rate in the world, and can be efficiently processed and reused through the recycling system.
• Compared with traditional non-degradable plastics (such as PVC), PET packaging can enter the recycling cycle after use, reducing pollution to the environment.
• By promoting PET packaging, the harm of plastic waste to soil, oceans and ecosystems can be effectively reduced.

2. Low carbon footprint, helping carbon neutrality goals

• The production process of PET materials has low energy consumption and carbon emissions are much lower than other plastic materials.
• The PET thermoforming process is simple and efficient, which can reduce energy consumption and further reduce carbon footprint.
• The use of PET packaging helps companies achieve carbon neutrality goals and is in line with the global trend of responding to climate change.

3. Lightweight design, reducing resource consumption

• PET materials have lightweight characteristics, which can reduce material usage while ensuring packaging strength.
• Lightweight packaging not only reduces raw material consumption, but also reduces energy consumption and carbon emissions during transportation.
• This design is in line with the environmental protection principle of “reduction, reuse and recycling”.

6. Meet consumers’ demand for environmentally friendly packaging

• With the improvement of consumers’ environmental awareness, more and more people tend to choose products with sustainable packaging.
• The environmentally friendly characteristics of PET packaging can meet consumers’ demand for green consumption and enhance brand image and market competitiveness.
• By using PET packaging, companies can attract more environmentally conscious consumers and expand market share.

7. Policy support and industry trends

• Globally, governments have introduced policies to restrict the use of non-degradable plastics and encourage the development of recyclable materials.
• PET packaging, due to its environmentally friendly characteristics, meets policy requirements and can help companies avoid policy risks.
• In terms of industry trends, PET packaging has become the mainstream choice in the field of food packaging, and has huge market potential in the future.

Choosing PET thermoformed plastic sheet roll as vegetable and fruit packaging box can not only effectively protect the product and extend the shelf life, but also contribute to environmental protection and sustainable development.

By promoting PET packaging, companies can fulfill their social responsibilities while meeting market demand and promote the industry to develop in a greener and low-carbon direction. In the future, with the advancement of technology and policy support, PET packaging will play a more important role in the food industry and provide strong support for achieving global sustainable development goals.

What is PET thermoformed plastic sheet rolls?

PET thermoformed plastic sheet rolls are a versatile and widely used packaging material made from Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET), a type of thermoplastic polymer. These sheets are manufactured in roll form and are designed to be heated and molded into specific shapes through a process called thermoforming. PET thermoformed plastic sheets are commonly used in the food packaging industry, particularly for vegetables, fruits, and other perishable goods, due to their excellent properties and environmental benefits.

Extended Shelf Life:

• Transparent PET packaging boxes can be combined with other preservation technologies (such as modified atmosphere packaging) to extend the shelf life of fruits and vegetables.
• Good sealing can prevent moisture loss and external contamination.

Improve Brand Image:

• Transparent packaging boxes can clearly display the quality of fruits and vegetables, enhance consumer trust.
• Brand logos or information can be printed on the packaging boxes to enhance brand awareness.

Application scenarios of PET thermoformed plastic sheet rolls

Retail packaging:

Bulk or pre-packaged fruits and vegetables such as strawberries, blueberries, grapes, cherries, etc. are used in supermarkets and fruit and vegetable stores.

Transparent packaging boxes can attract consumers and increase product added value.

E-commerce packaging:

Applicable to the delivery of fruits and vegetables on e-commerce platforms, protecting fruits and vegetables from damage during transportation.

Lightweight design reduces logistics costs.

Gift packaging:

High-end fruits and vegetables (such as organic vegetables and imported fruits) can use transparent PET packaging boxes to enhance the quality of gifts.

Catering industry:

Used for fruit and vegetable display and storage in restaurants and hotels to keep the ingredients fresh.

Production process of PET thermoformed plastic sheet rolls

Sheet extrusion:

PET resin is made into transparent sheets through extrusion process, and the thickness can be adjusted according to demand (usually 0.18mm-1.8mm).

Thermoforming:

The PET thermoformed plastic sheet roll is heated to a softened state and formed into the shape of a fruit and vegetable packaging box through a mold.

Thermoforming process is efficient and suitable for mass production.
