Westpak are proud to be the exclusive distributor for ILIP punnets in the UK. This partnership ensures ILIP’s exceptionally designed punnet range is supplied to the UK fresh produce market with total logistical efficiency.
The ILPA Group, of which ILIP is a member has a cutting-edge recycling plant where it mechanically recycles post-consumer PET food containers and bottles to obtain secondary raw materials in the form of flakes, which it can then use in its products. The precise part of the circular economic model that ILIP operates within includes the ‘ecodesign & production’ and ‘rPET packaging production’.
By recycling pre-existing plastic content, rPET avoids the continued depletion of virgin plastic materials such as oils and petrochemicals. All ILIP punnets use 95% previously recycled materials. rPET boasts a reduced carbon footprint over virgin PET and also helps reduce the volume of PET products that are disposed of improperly by consumers. rPET is also able to be recycled again after use. RPET is ideal for sustainable fresh produce packaging as it is highly durable, water-repellent, resistant to excessive heat and chemical contamination and can be moulded into desired shapes with absolute precision.
Top-seal ILIP punnets are suitable for both top-seal and lid closures, each of which are able to provide excellent freshness and product visibility.
The ILIP punnets specified with handles are ideal for ‘pick your own’ fruit farms as well as other fresh produce retail applications.
These ILIP punnets are suitable for net and flow-wrap closures, both common for grocery retail applications, with flow-wrap offering excellent freshness.
Lids are available in a rounded ‘domed’ style is varying dimensions. Each lid provides a reliable and secure seal for accompanying punnets.
