    April 28, 2011

    Renewable thermoformed produce packaging developed by Clear Lam Packaging, Inc. earned the industry’s first U.S. Department of Agriculture Certified Biobased Product Label, part of a new voluntary labeling program to help purchasers choose products made with biobased commodities. These renewable containers are used to package cheese, fruits and other foods. Clear Lam’s renewable thermoformed produce containers are produced from 93% plant-based bioplastics derived from Ingeo PLA (polylactic acid) along with ingredients that add performance characteristics such as enhanced impact and temperature resistance. Additional packaging Clear Lam has submitted for the BioPreferred program includes packages for dairy-based items such as yogurt and cottage cheese.
