Food safety and hygiene are top priorities for considering use of post-
consumer recycled (PCR) content in food packaging. When AVI Global
Plast introduced 80 to 90% recycled PET in films and packaging designs
in 2013, they used state-of-the-art co-extrusion equipment to

In the wake of increasing regulations towards prevention and

management of plastic waste globally, AVI Global was keen on entirely
eliminating the use of virgin materials from its range of PET offerings.
The company is looking to help fruit retailers and the rest of the value-
chain optimize their carbon-footprint and align with government-
backed interventions that incentivize curbs on plastic waste pollution
and use of PCR through state levies or plastic tax mechanisms. After
rigorous trials and testing, AVI is ready with 100% rPET products made
entirely out of waste, yet 100% safe for food-contact.

“Sustainability is on the agenda of all of our clients, especially our

partners in the European Union and the UK. Governments in these
regions have announced and implemented incentives to curb plastic
waste pollution and promote the use of recycled content through
mechanisms like state levies or a plastic tax.

“Our 100% recycled food-grade PET clamshells and punnets intend on

helping fruit retailers and other supply-chain partners adhere to
evolving regulations and mandates concerning the sustainability and
circularity of plastic packaging. By using 100% recycled content, our
clients can reduce their dependence on virgin raw materials by 100%.
We can further help them derive raw material savings by downgauging
pack designs by up to 10%, thus, extending the value and application
of precious, renewable materials for longer while preventing their
overuse. Overall, our offerings open opportunities for clients to further
optimize their businesses’ carbon, water, energy & waste footprints,”
said Sukhdeep Singh Sethi from AVI Global Plast.

Across the globe, in Europe and USA for instance, standards and
guidelines have been mandated to regulate food packaging that uses
100% rPET. One such globally adopted standard is the European Food
Safety Authority (EFSA) approval for food-contact safety. EFSA certifies
only those recycling processes that use super-cleaning technologies to
produce recycled content with virgin-grade properties, making the
circular system truly safe, sustainable and scalable.

AVI Global’s latest 100% rPET offering is designed with flakes derived
from an EFSA-approved recycling process. This is to reassure clients
about receiving quality products that comply with reliable standards.
With clarity and impact resistance comparable to virgin materials, AVI
Global’s 100% rPET offerings are also 100% recyclable with no toxic
additives added. With this, retailers and brand owners can potentially
give their packaging endless life while making way for recyclers to
access high-quality feedstock to close the loop more sustainably.

“We are looking to service punnet requirements for grapes, kiwis,

dragon-fruit, cherry tomatoes and various kinds of berry – strawberry,
blueberry, raspberry etc. We have an extensive design range offered in
100-1000 gram SKUs, we are also open to any customization, if
needed.

“We offer both, clamshells and heat-sealable punnets. Our

punnets/trays offer good seal properties, meet preferred pack design
standards and are compatible with high-speed machine lines running
in the UK and EU – these are top reasons for their acceptance among
major importers here.

“At present, AVI Global Plast is the only Indian supplier to offer 100%
rPET sheets and thermoformed packs of food-grade quality. The team
 at AVI is intent on encouraging partners to save more energy, reduce
carbon emissions and plastic waste and enhance livelihoods in a
virtuous loop.”
