Interstate Container to Showcase Full Line of Poultry Packaging & Services at International Production & Processing Expo 2015
Interstate Container will display a complete line of poultry packaging and services at International Production & Processing Expo (IPPE) 2015 from January 27th – 29th in Atlanta, GA.
Cambridge, MD, January 25, 2015 --(PR.com)-- Interstate Container, a fast growing full-service poultry packaging company, will display a complete line of poultry packaging and services at International Production & Processing Expo (IPPE) 2015 from January 27th – 29th in Atlanta, GA. During the expo, Interstate Container’s packaging specialists will meet with poultry industry representatives at booth #B7929 to discuss custom-engineered solutions, including innovative Greencoat® wax-free, strong, recyclable and cost-efficient corrugated boxes, as well as wax corrugated boxes, bliss and export boxes, regular slotted containers (RSC), and comprehensive mechanical packaging services.
IPPE 2015 attendees can witness first-hand the strength and durability of pioneering Greencoat® wax-free corrugated boxes at booth #B7929. Interstate Container will set up a Greencoat® box display to support a 900 lb ice sculpture throughout the duration of the show. The 100% recyclable Greencoat® corrugated boxes offer customers moisture-resistance, strength and cost-effectiveness, while reducing the carbon footprint for both the customer and the end-user.
Strong, Sustainable, & Cost-Efficient Greencoat® Wax-Free Poultry Packaging
Tested Strength & Water Resistance. Greencoat® boxes are moisture resistant, and strong enough to package and transport poultry, meat, seafood and other refrigerated and frozen products. This box can endure shifts from cold-to-hot, rough handling, and long trips without sacrificing strength or performance. Interstate Container works hand-in-hand with customers to develop customized packaging solutions, as well as conducts on-going customer trials.
Proven Sustainability. Greencoat® wax-free boxes are FBA-certified 100% recyclable, repulpable, and compostable. The eco-friendly box reduces environmentally-harmful greenhouse gas emissions generated from burning unrecyclable corrugated packaging. According to Global Green USA CoRR, fresh produce, meats and seafood producers generate 1.45 million tons of solid waste from paraffin-coated cardboard alone. Thus, an industry shift to recyclable corrugated packaging could reduce America's annual carbon emissions by 4.5 million mtCO2e. Since shifting nearly 100% of its 500 million square feet of boxes to Greencoat®, Mountaire Farms has reduced 150,000 mtCO2/annually.
Demonstrated Cost Saving. By using Greencoat® boxes, the retail industry and restaurant sector will cut or avoid landfill disposal costs ranging from $65-$125 / ton (tipping fees & pull). ‘Retailers and restaurants could realize a net benefit of combined cost savings and revenue generation of $200 million nationwide’ – Global Green USA CoRR. Additionally, Interstate Container coats the wax-free box in-house, reducing unnecessary additional transportation costs to third-party providers. The manufacturer also assigns expert engineers to work with customers to develop “right size” customized packaging that builds strength while reducing costs.
