TCEP, an independent industry association focused on PET thermoforms is a PETCORE initiative, which is rapidly emerging as the definitive authority on Design for Recycling (D4R) in food packaging trays. The platform's stringent evaluation criteria are already helping shape upcoming Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) legislation.
"We're excited to have gained TCEP endorsement for kp Elite®," said Paul Rawlings, Launch Manager at kp Food Packaging.
"TCEP represents the most comprehensive and practical testing protocol available for assessing PET thermoform recyclability. The organisation’s technical expertise and rigorous evaluation process makes it the clear choice for validating packaging designs that will truly support a circular economy.
kp Elite® is made with up to 100% recycled post-consumer PET (rPET), which is recyclable, and we also systematically include kp Tray2Tray® PCR content.
