Pizza box concept from Faerch Plast

Faerch Plast, a European manufacturer of plastic containers for the food industry, has launched a new pizza box concept. The base of the pack is produced from CPET for use in ovens (max 220°C) or microwaves whilst the lid is made from clear APET. The pizza box was awarded the Snack d’Or trophy at the recent Sandwich & Snack Show in Paris.

The uncooked pizza can be prepared and packed into the 100% recyclable pizza box for cooking later. Cooked pizzas can also be taken from the oven in the supermarket or takeaway outlet, and packed into the pizza box for safe transit and consumer reheating, without the lid.

CPET makes cooking and reheating possible because it has a partially crystalline structure which retains its shape at high temperatures.
