Plastic Clamshells Can Be Environment-Friendly

Clamshell Package, Clamshell Packaging

Since the invention of plastic by Alexander Parkes in the 1860s, various products have been created based on the structure of polymers. They are especially in demand for manufacturing containers and packaging products such as plates, boxes, bags, bottles and the highly popular plastic clamshells.

The popularity of the clamshell can be attributed to its low cost, versatility, flexibility and imperviousness to water. In addition, it provides solid protection to the enclosed product, keeping it safe from physical damage, moisture, dirt and other unwanted elements in the environment.

With heightened environmental awareness, however, the clamshells have become the target of many advocacy groups who are lobbying for increased efforts at reducing and recycling synthetic products, especially plastic.

Fortunately, Impact Mfg. has developed recyclable plastic clamshells. When taken to recycling centers, these clamshells can be turned into new containers or packaging material. Visit Impact-MFG.com today or call 800-579-IMPACT for more information.
