EstPak Plastik AS: manufacturing food packaging from recycled PET
EstPak Plastik AS manufactures plastic packaging, including food packaging made from recycled PET (rPET). This reduces the environmental impact of plastics by replacing virgin raw materials with recycled materials and keeping plastics in circulation through high-quality recycling of resources.
A key contribution of EstPak Plastik to circularity is its in-house production of 100% recycled PET (rPET) material from post-consumer recycled materials. The company uses advanced recycling and thermoforming technologies to manufacture food-contact packaging, including trays for ready meals, fresh meat, salads, chilled foods and bakery products. Its rPET production process has been assessed and approved for food-contact applications, supporting safe use of recycled plastics in new packaging.
EstPak Plastik implements circular economy principles by integrating recycled material production with packaging manufacturing, reducing dependence on fossil-based virgin plastics and lowering the ecological footprint of the packaging sector. The company also supports resource efficiency through lightweight packaging solutions, customised designs and efficient production processes that help customers optimise material use and logistics.
- EstPak Plastik invested in a high-technology extrusion line in 2017 enabling production of rPET suitable for food-contact applications and uses three identical latest-generation thermoforming machines, providing production reliability, flexibility and continuity.
