Evergreen Packaging, Memphis, Tenn., USA, a global producer of liquid packaging board, this week introduced Sentinel™ Renewable Ice Cream Board, an addition to its Sentinel paper and paperboard line. This board is one of the first of its kind and reflects Evergreen Packaging's continued commitment to the use of renewable resources and reinforces the company's expertise in custom extrusion technology.

"Our new ice cream board reflects our dual commitment to customers and consumers," said Evergreen Packaging Managing Director of Global Board Sales Chris Johns. "For our customers, this is a product that runs dependably and seamlessly like other forms of polyethylene coated stock and provides an excellent print surface. Consumers can feel good about purchasing products in packaging using this board, because it is fully renewable."

Evergreen Packaging is focused on developing innovative fiber-based products to meet the business goals of customers and sustainability preferences of consumers, and Sentinel Renewable Ice Cream Board is the latest solution for retail food packaging audiences.  

 

 

"We are very excited to be utilizing the renewable Sentinel product from Evergreen Packaging and look forward to the expansion of our sustainability offerings to our customers," said John Nycklemoe, chief sales officer for Burd and Fletcher. "We believe that the introduction of our Envy™ Ice Cream container will not only assist with the growing sustainability movement in the frozen dairy market, but also contribute to solidifying consumers brand loyalty by providing more eco-friendly options at shelf."

Evergreen Packaging is also committed to providing products that utilize renewable resources. The company converts trees, a renewable material, into paper and paperboard. Because of its commitment to responsible forestry, Evergreen Packaging sources all of its wood fiber responsibly by maintaining three forestry certifications and conducting annual third-party audits. The new ice cream board uses sugarcane-based polyethylene supplied by Braskem. Combining renewable paperboard with a renewable sugarcane-based polyethylene coating offers customers a unique, innovative, fully renewable board option for ice cream packaging.

The Sentinel paper and paperboard line for food products includes Sentinel Food Service Board and Cupstock, Sentinel Food Grade Packaging Board, and Sentinel  Flexible Packaging Paper. Sentinel paper and paperboard products are designed to be used in a wide range of food service and food packaging applications with varying shelf life needs. These products can be converted into a variety of formats including cups, trays, plates, ovenable board, cartons, flexible packaging, and box liners, as well as a wide range of other formats.
