International Print and Packaging to offer recyclable paper cups and other food service packaging using EarthCoating®
October 14, 2014 -- Newport Beach, CA -- International Print & Packaging, a distribution company located in Anaheim, CA, have expanded their line of environmentally sensitive packaging and promotional items to include recyclable paper cups and packaging with direct food contact using EarthCoating, providing their customers the opportunity to advance their sustainability goals. Recyclable cups and packaging can be ordered through International Print & Packaging at www.ippgreen.com. Traditionally, food service packaging such as hot/cold cups, ice cream containers, frozen food cartons and food trays are coated with 100% polyethylene and similar materials for barrier properties to moisture, oils, grease and fatty acids. Paperboards with these legacy coatings are poor candidates for recycling and generally destined for a landfill. However, paper cups with EarthCoating provide great potential for post-consumer recyclability. The materials with EarthCoating do not require any special processing and are fully recyclable when collected. Paperboards with EarthCoating technology offer a recyclable alternative for the approximately 700,000 tons of 100% polyethylene-coated paper cup material produced annually in the US. Recyclable paperboard with EarthCoating is a technology engineered by Smart Planet Technologies. EarthCoating is a registered trademark of Smart Planet Technologies.
