Tekni-Plex consumer products introduced the Dolco ProPlus™ carton containing 25 percent post- consumer recycled foam polystyrene.  Jay Arnold Vice-president and General Manager of Dolco Packaging stated, “We have a responsibility to lead the way by innovating products that help maintain the integrity of the food supply chain while minimizing environmental impact”. 

The resin used to manufacture cartons contains recycled post-consumer waste that has the same performance characteristics as cartons using virgin material.”  Arnold noted, “These cartons can be recycled multiple times through advanced processing without compromising quality or performance while supporting the packaging industry goal of moving towards a true circular economy.”

Dolco offers 100 percent post-consumer recycled PET cartons and will continue to promote the used of recycled material in the product range. All Dolco packaging facilities are collection points for foam polystyrene and the company offers mail-in and drop-off options critical to establishing a circular packaging solution.
