GREENCOAT® Wax-Free Boxes Offer Sustainable Poultry Packaging Solutions at International Poultry Expo 2012

Online, January 26, 2012 (Newswire.com) - At the International Poultry Expo 2012, Interstate Container Booth # 5069 grabs attention, offering attendees innovative environmentally-friendly GREENCOAT® boxes for the transport of fresh, frozen and other poultry products. The 3-day annual event held at Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, Georgia, ends today January 26, 2012.

GREENCOAT® corrugated packaging meets industry and customer needs for fully recyclable, strong and moisture-resistant poultry packaging. GREENCOAT® wax-free boxes reduce packaging that end up in landfills, in line with sustainability initiatives set forth by most poultry processors and packers.

Jeff Cormier, Interstate Container National Sales & Marketing Manager, states,

"International Poultry Expo (IPE) 2012 has been great this week. There has been tremendous interest in GREENCOAT®, both domestically and internationally, as poultry companies are looking to move away from the use of waxed packaging.

At the event, we are able to show everyone that GREENCOAT® is as strong as wax, cost neutral and better meets the 2012 sustainability goals of many companies. We look forward to the remainder of the show and continuing to work with processors on their cost savings projects."

GREENCOAT® Wax-Free Corrugated Boxes

GREENCOAT® is a compostable, FBA-certified, 100% recyclable and repulpable packaging solution for transporting products that require durable moisture-resistant corrugated packaging.

GREENCOAT® boxes can withstand shifts from cold-to-hot environmental conditions, high exposure to moisture, rough handling, long storage and transportation. The innovative durable corrugated container offers the same strength as waxed boxes, without the carbon footprint and landfill disposal costs. They are also easier to glue than waxed boxes.

Interstate Container Cambridge, MD and Interstate Container Columbia, SC, manufacture the sustainable corrugated boxes that pack poultry, meat, seafood, floral and fresh fruit and vegetable produce. The plants control 100% of GREENCOAT®'s manufacturing process and do not outsource the coating of paper to third parties, increasing cost effectiveness.
