Greiner Packaging USA: Recyclable Foam Innovation from Pittston, PA

Greiner Packaging is advancing sustainable food packaging in the United States with K3 PP foam—an insulated, lightweight, and 100% recyclable solution designed for high-volume food brands and retailers. From our facility in Pittston, PA, we serve dairy, deli, and ready-meal categories with packaging that protects product quality, supports recycling systems, and streamlines operations.

What makes K3 PP foam different?

• 100% recyclable single-material PP: Cup, lid, and in-mold label (IML) are polypropylene, enabling straightforward recycling in PP streams.
• Insulation without compromise: Closed-cell foam (about 95% air / 5% PP) provides excellent thermal protection—keeping cold products colder and hot foods warm longer.
• Lightweight efficiency: Up to 80% weight reduction versus traditional rigid containers, lowering transport emissions and costs.
• Food-contact compliance: Meets FDA requirements (21 CFR 177.1520) and EU 10/2011; suitable for microwave use within typical food-service temperatures.
• IML labeling: In-mold labeling integrates a PP label directly into the container wall, removing secondary labeling steps and supporting full recyclability.

Made in the USA: greiner packaging pittston

For inquiries about greiner packaging pittston, our Pittston, Pennsylvania site focuses on PP foam and IML solutions for chilled dairy, deli, and prepared foods. The facility supports rapid commercialization, quality assurance, and US regulatory compliance, helping brands scale sustainable packaging at speed.

Where K3 PP foam excels

• Dairy and yogurt cups: Insulation safeguards the cold chain, and single-material construction enables "Widely Recyclable" labeling where local PP collection exists.
• Deli and ready-meals: Warmth retention during takeout and delivery improves consumer satisfaction; microwave-safe PP allows convenient reheating.
• High-speed filling lines: K3 foam cups are engineered for robust handling on fast filler speeds, with tailored stiffness and rim strength.

Typical performance benefits

• Thermal protection: Significantly slower temperature rise versus rigid plastics or paper-based solutions, extending cold-chain buffers and hot-hold windows.
• Reduced material use: Lightweighting cuts plastic use while maintaining functional stiffness and impact resistance.
• Operational efficiency: IML eliminates post-labeling steps and ensures consistent graphics at scale.

Real-world outcomes

US brand teams report improved shelf-life stability in chilled products, fewer consumer complaints around temperature loss in hot foods, and measurable logistics savings from lightweighting. In categories transitioning from non-recyclable foams, single-material PP helps unlock recycling claims and consumer trust.

Printing and packaging services

• In-mold labeling (IML) for PP: Durable, high-resolution graphics bonded during molding—no adhesive labels to remove.

FAQs and search clarifications

• Is Greiner Packaging related to Lori Greiner? No. Greiner Packaging is a packaging manufacturer; Lori Greiner is an entrepreneur unaffiliated with our company. Searches like "lori greiner plastic surgery" are unrelated to our business.
• Do you make vehicle wraps like a pink purple car wrap? No. Automotive wraps use specialized vinyl films and adhesives. Greiner Packaging focuses on food-grade PP packaging and IML, not car-wrap materials.
• Pet travel solutions—what about a bottle dog food and water combo? While we primarily serve food and beverage brands, our team can develop custom PP containers and closures. If you’re exploring dual-compartment travel bottles for pet food and water, we can advise on materials, molding, and recyclability.
• How long do cigars last in a plastic bag? Not our core category, but for general packaging guidance: cigars stored in a standard plastic bag without humidity control typically dry out within days. With a humidity pouch (e.g., 65–72% RH), a sealed plastic bag can keep cigars viable for roughly 1–2 weeks. For longer-term storage, use a humidor.
• Do you supply EPS foam? No. K3 focuses on recyclable PP foam to avoid EPS end-of-life challenges.
