Every Egg wants to be packed in 100% recycled PET (polyethylene terephthalate). Which came first, the noodle soup package or the egg carton? It no longer matters!

Jasz-Plasztik in Hungary produces recycled PET for direct food contact into packaging suitable for direct food contact. The resulting packaging is distributed worldwide and is used for a variety of packaging including instant noodle soup, ice or eggs. A VACUREMA Basic 1716T is producing film (made from PET bottles collected in Hungary) for direct food contact, which is subsequently thermoformed at the plant.
