Sealed Air to invest in production capacity for Plantic plant-based food packaging
This facility is said to be the first in North America to produce materials made from Plantic plant-based resin and post-consumer plastic.
Sealed Air Corp., Charlotte, N.C., announced plans to invest in production capacity at its Simpsonville, S.C., facility to produce plant-based food packaging. This facility is said to be the first in North America to produce materials made from Plantic plant-based resin and post-consumer plastic. Plus, the 1.4-million-square-foot operation is said to be one of the world’s largest packaging plants with over 1,000 employees.
In June 2018, Sealed Air and Kuraray America, Inc., Houston, Texas, entered into an agreement to offer Plantic materials to package perishable foods such as poultry, beef and seafood in the United States, Canada and Mexico.
