What is Modified Atmosphere Packaging? This month the CAP Pack is back discussing the unique process of Modified Atmosphere Packaging or MAP, which controls the inner atmosphere of the container by removing oxygen from the packaging and backfilling it with a controlled mixture of inert gases, slowing oxidation and microbial growth, to extended shelf life for refrigerated and shelf stable products.

PET (polyethylene terephthalate) is widely recyclable, especially PET bottles, which are accepted by nearly all recycling programs in the US and Canada. However, PET thermoforms like clamshells and trays have a lower recycling rate due to challenges in sorting and processing. Despite its recyclability, modifications such as color and added barriers can complicate recycling efforts. Simplifying packaging and adhering to recyclability guidelines can enhance PET recycling. Recycled PET, including post-consumer and post-industrial variants, plays a crucial role in sustainable packaging solutions. Find out more about PET here: https://bit.ly/3Agereh
