Meat tray plastic refers to the plastic materials used in the production of trays specifically designed for packaging meat products, as well as the trays themselves. These plastics are carefully selected for their suitability in meat packaging, with common options including PET (polyethylene terephthalate) and PP (polypropylene). PET is valued for its high transparency, allowing consumers to clearly view the meat’s quality, and its rigidity, which provides structural support for various meat cuts. PP, on the other hand, offers excellent moisture resistance and durability, making it ideal for containing meat juices and withstanding refrigerated storage. Meat tray plastic is engineered to be food-grade, free from BPA and harmful chemicals, ensuring safety for direct contact with meat. The trays made from these plastics feature raised edges to prevent leakage, and their smooth surfaces facilitate effective sealing with films or wraps, which helps to extend shelf life by reducing oxygen exposure. They are also designed to be stackable, optimizing storage space in retail display cases and warehouses. Meat tray plastic is compatible with various packaging technologies, such as Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) and vacuum sealing, further enhancing preservation. Additionally, many meat tray plastics are recyclable, aligning with sustainability efforts in the food packaging industry. Overall, meat tray plastic combines functionality, safety, and practicality to meet the unique demands of meat packaging.
