Experts also will be on hand to discuss TekniPlex Consumer Products’ latest U.S. manufacturing plant.

The Ohio plant helps expanding portfolio in sustainability-minded materials.

The protein tray recognized by BPI is composed of cellulose-based direct food-contact material, and is manufactured in the United States.

 Each features an induction heat seal for superior barrier protection, and thick, durable tabs for ease of grip – a benefit especially attractive to consumers with dexterity challenges. 

Veteran IT executive Rahul Goturi brings over 25 years of IT experience to TekniPlex, including a deep background with global manufacturing companies.

Research shows over 70% of consumers say they think about products and packaging made from plant-based materials when they are shopping.

ISCC Plus is a globally recognized system for verifiable traceability of recycled materials throughout the supply chain.

The Ohio plant signifies TekniPlex’s intentions to continue expanding its portfolio not only in specialty molded fiber but also sustainability-minded materials – especially those comprising significant amounts of post-consumer recycled (PCR) content, or composed of more recyclable resins like PET.  

The company says it further strengthens its position as a materials-diverse solutions provider in the fresh foods industry.    

The global effort comes as TekniPlex is in the midst of unprecedented growth.
