Be the first to comment on this article

Sharp Interpack has invested 2m in kit to produce new soft fruit punnets that use more recycled content.

The SP(E) containers are made from R-APET plastic, which contains up to 60% recycled material.

The firm said the containers were 87% stronger than its existing SP range, peaking at 172N in compression and load-bearing tests, compared with 92N. They also have ribbed sides to provide rigidity without adding to their weight.
