COLUMBIA, SC, December 10, 2011 /Industry PR News/ -- As of December 1, 2011, Interstate Container Columbia in Columbia, SC, began manufacturing GREENCOAT wax-replacement packaging. The eco-friendly GREENCOAT wax-free corrugated boxes are specially suited for packing poultry, meat, seafood, fresh produce, floral and other refrigerated and frozen products.
Award-Winning GREENCOAT Wax Alternative Cartons
GREENCOAT 's moisture-resistant boxes are 100% recyclable, repulpable, and compostable. The eco-friendly corrugated boxes meet performance standards of traditional waxed boxes without the carbon footprint and save customers disposal fees. Interstate Container also produces GREENCOAT in Cambridge, Maryland.
Interstate Container Cambridge and leading poultry processor, Mountaire Farms collaborated on recyclable wholesale transfer packaging to develop GREENCOAT wax-replacement boxes. This sustainable packaging has streamlined Mountaire Farm's supply chain, lowered costs, and reduced an estimated 100,000 tons of greenhouse gases for Mountaire Farms.
Last year, GREENCOAT was recognized with the 1st Pioneer Award from Global Green USA, a non-profit organization committed to making positive changes to foster global climate improvement, at the 11th Annual Sustainable Design Awards.
