FAERCH has announced that its CPET (Crystalline PET) dual ovenable trays have been officially recognised as fully recyclable by the German institute cyclos-HTP.
The institute has classified CPET as a ‘Valuable Material’ and confirmed its full compatibility with PET tray recycling systems.
The independent assessment confirmed CPET trays can be recycled just as effectively as APET trays. Faerch said recycled PET from CPET food trays can go back into production as a valuable material without reducing the quality or performance of new products.
Earlier this year Faerch’s MAPET II trays were also awarded an independent recyclability certificate from cyclos-HTP, rated at 98–99% recyclable.
Faerch’s CPET trays are used across ready meal packaging, offering functional benefits such as oven and microwave safety, temperature resistance, and food safety compliance. The firm said the new recyclability certification demonstrates that these trays can be collected, sorted, and recycled into new food packaging of the same high quality.
