Global food packaging manufacturer Sabert has succeeded in achieving its goal of producing an improved range of food service packaging products that are now made from 100% High Grade, Post Consumer PET Bottle Flakes.
“We are so pleased to have achieved our aim of closing the loop and using no more virgin PET,” said Sabert Marketing and Innovation Manager, Gisèle Nonnweiler.
“Sabert began producing some products which included Post Consumer PET Bottle Flake before 2016, but in January that year took our whole range to a guaranteed minimum of 50% High Grade, Post Consumer PET Bottle Flakes content,” said Gisèle.
“During 2018, we increased this percentage to a minimum of 70% and since September this year, we are now producing products featuring 100% High Grade, Post Consumer PET Bottle Flakes content.”

“Sabert’s clear Chilled Solutions salad bowls and all of the clear lids available across our entire product range are now made from 100% High Grade, Post Consumer PET Bottle Flakes. This represents another milestone in Sabert’s journey towards sustainability and commitment to promote a circular economy.”

Recycled plastics are used to manufacture a wide variety of new products. Sabert encourages all the plastic users to recycle and to help to close the loop toward a circular economy. These new high-clarity rPET products deliver on our promise to make food look great!”
