SPI responds to the Earth Day 2024 theme through practical actions https://southplastic.com/news/recyclable-pet-food-packaging-spis-contribution-to-a-sustainable-earth/ Mon, 22 Apr 2024 02:42:51 +0000 https://southplastic.com/?post_type=news&p=11619 As we celebrate Earth Day 2024 on April 22nd, it’s vital to consider our efforts in addressing environmental issues. The United Nations Environment Assembly (UNEA-6) recently convened from February 26 to March 1, 2024, focusing on significant challenges such as plastic pollution and climate change. Extensively discussed was the eco-friendly transformation of packaging to combat plastic waste.

What is the Earth Day 2024 theme?
Earth Day 2024 adopts the theme “Planet vs. Plastics” highlights the urgency to address plastic pollution. The theme aligns with the conclusions drawn at UNEA-6 to contribute to the global efforts aimed at reducing plastic pollution. EARTHDAY.ORG aims for a 60% reduction in ALL plastic products by 2040, highlighting plastic’s health risks and advocating sustainable practices. Shockingly, we annually produce 380 million tons of plastic, with only 9% recycled.

 

What is Earth Day?

What is Earth Day?

Earth Day is an annual event celebrated on April 22nd to demonstrate support for environmental protection. It marks the anniversary of the birth of the modern environmental movement in 1970. Earth Day activities and events aim to raise awareness about environmental issues and promote actions to protect the planet such as conservation efforts, clean-up campaigns, and educational initiatives.

 

How can we make the Earth better?

The Earth Day 2024 theme underscores the need for sustainable actions, especially in reducing single-use plastics. Recyclable PET food packaging is seen as a positive step. SPI has taken significant steps to address this pressing issue:

  • Producing PET and RPET Packaging
    SPI is actively producing PET and RPET packaging with third-party certified post-consumer recycled content. This initiative not only reduces reliance on virgin plastics but also promotes the circular economy, which is entirely what
  • Earth Day is about.Less Plastic, More Efficient Manufacturing – Win-Win!
    To minimize environmental impact without compromising product quality, SPI is implementing thinner PET sheets in the redesign of food packaging. This approach not only reduces plastic usage but also enhances resource efficiency in manufacturing processes.
  • Resource Optimization through Recycling
    SPI is actively engaging in the reuse of in-line production scraps, demonstrating a commitment to minimizing waste generation and maximizing resource utilization.
  • Advocacy for Recyclable PET Packaging
    SPI is advocating for the widespread adoption of recyclable PET packaging to curb plastic waste significantly. By promoting sustainable alternatives, SPI aims to contribute to the preservation of the planet’s resources and the reduction of environmental pollution.

With these down-to-earth actions, SPI is demonstrating its dedication to environmental stewardship. It aligns perfectly with the Earth Day 2024 ethos, striving towards a sustainable future.

Why Using A Tamper-Evident Food Container For Your Food Packaging? https://southplastic.com/news/why-using-a-tamper-evident-food-container-for-your-food-packaging/ Mon, 25 Sep 2023 01:06:07 +0000 https://southplastic.com/?post_type=news&p=10507 Why Using A Tamper-Evident Food Container For Your Food Packaging?

Food packaging is a critical component of the food industry. It serves as a protective barrier between the food and the environment, preserving the quality and freshness of the food. However, with the rise of food tampering incidents, it has become increasingly important to ensure that food packaging is secure and tamper-proof. One way to do this is by using tamper-evident food containers.

What are Tamper-Evident Food Containers?

Tamper-evident food containers are designed to provide visible evidence if the container has been tampered with. They are equipped with features that make it difficult or impossible to open the container without leaving visible signs of tampering. These features can include seals, bands, or shrink wraps that must be broken in order to access the contents of the container.

 

Why Use Tamper-Evident Food Containers?

There are several reasons why using tamper-evident food containers is important:

Why Use Tamper-Evident Food Containers?

  1. Protecting Consumers: Tamper-evident food containers protect consumers by ensuring that the food they purchase has not been tampered with. This is particularly important for products that are vulnerable to tampering, such as baby food, medications, and supplements.
  2. Ensuring Product Integrity: Tamper-evident food containers help ensure product integrity by providing a visible indication if the container has been opened or compromised. This can help prevent contamination and preserve the quality and freshness of the product.
  3. Building Consumer Trust: Using tamper-evident food containers can help build consumer trust by demonstrating a commitment to product safety and quality. Consumers are more likely to purchase products that they trust have not been tampered with.

 

Types of Tamper-Evident Food Containers

Types of Tamper-Evident Food Containers

There are several types of tamper-evident food containers available on the market today. These include:

  1. Sealed Containers: Sealed containers are designed to be opened only once. They are equipped with a seal that must be broken in order to access the contents of the container. Once the seal is broken, it cannot be resealed.
  2. Banded Containers: Banded containers are equipped with a band that must be removed in order to access the contents of the container. The band provides a visible indication if it has been broken or removed.
  3. Shrink-Wrapped Containers: Shrink-wrapped containers are wrapped in plastic film that is shrunk tightly around the container using heat. The film must be cut or torn in order to access the contents of the container, leaving a visible indication of tampering.

No matter what type of it, using tamper-evident food containers is a critical component of ensuring food safety and quality. Tamper-evident food containers help protect consumers, ensure product integrity and build consumer trust.

 

SPI's tamper-evident food containers are manufactured from easy-to-recycle PET material (post-consumer recycled PET available)

SPI’s tamper-evident food containers are manufactured from easy-to-recycle PET material (post-consumer recycled PET available), making them fully recyclable and environmentally friendly. Their high structural integrity allows for easy stacking and no deformation when being closed, while the patented safety lock design ensures that the containers cannot be opened without leaving visible signs of tampering.

The absence of a tear-off strip reduces litter and waste, while the simple pull-tab opening and clear visibility of the broken seal make it easy for consumers to identify if the container has been tampered with. Additionally, the effective anti-fogging feature ensures that the contents of the container remain visible and appealing to consumers. SPI’s tamper-evident food containers are a reliable and sustainable solution for ensuring the safety and quality of food products and highly recommended to you. By using SPI’s products, you will be able to demonstrate a commitment to product safety and environmental responsibility, which can help build consumer trust and loyalty.

South Plastic tamper proof containers are made from post-consumer recycled (PCR) PET beverage bottles, removing this leading cause of plastic pollution from the waste stream.

South Plastic tamper evident containers are not only 100% manufactured from recycled PET, they are 100% recyclable at end of life. This contributes to the sustainable principles of the circular economy by reducing the volume of plastic going to landfill for disposal.

Why does Australia need tamper proof packaging?

The potential for serious harm from food tampering makes it extremely important to make food containers tamper evident. There was a national scandal when Australians discovered needles in packaged strawberries in 2018. These came from a fruit farm in Queensland that used packaging with vents that allowed direct access to the contents.

 

Tamper proof fruit containers prevent needle insertion

South Plastic tamper proof fruit containers have vents built into the lids that overlap the non-vented side of the container. This makes it impossible to insert needles or other contaminants into the contents without damaging the container. Our patented vent design is unique, and eliminates the problem of poor ventilation caused by ventless tamper evident packaging.
