Launch of chilled ready meal trays with a minimum of 40pct Tray rPETSetting new circularity standards: Launch of chilled ready meal trays with a minimum of 40% Tray rPET 05/11/2025 For years, Faerch has been at the forefront of advancing circularity in the food packaging industry. In 2024, we launched CPET trays for chilled ready meals in the UK and Ireland, containing a minimum of 40% Tray rPET and setting new standards for circularity in rigid food packaging. Since introducing Evolve by Faerch in 2019, Faerch has been a leader in transforming food packaging. Designed specifically for the ready meals market, Evolve by Faerch incorporated up to 70% post-consumer recycled content, including the use of mixed colour “jazz” bottle flakes. This bold move not only set new industry benchmarks for the use of recycled materials but also demonstrated Faerch’s commitment to circularity by ensuring that Faerch products could be fully recycled into high-quality food- grade packaging. With the significant expansion of our Cirrec recycling facility in 2024, we have taken another major step toward circularity. Starting January 1, 2025, we will introduce CPET trays for chilled ready meals with a minimum of 40% Tray rPET content, while maintaining the essential CPET properties required for food safety and functionality. The inclusion of Tray rPET will not only ensure high levels of post-consumer recycled content but also a significant amount of circular content, enabling customers to partner with Faerch in taking responsibility and closing the loop on food packaging. faerch.com/tray-rpet-40Side 2
