Frequently Asked Questions
Why is kp Infinity® different?
kp Infinity® Hotpacs® and the kp Infinity® Top Seal range are both made from extruded polypropylene (EPP)* and are fully recyclable. So even though they are single use food containers, they are not covered by the ban.
*Also known as expanded polypropylene
What is APR Design® validation?
APR Design® for Recyclability Recognition provides third-party validation that a package or packaging component’s design is compatible with the North American recycling system. This process confirms the item has met the highest criteria for recyclability according to the APR Design® Guide. Complete packages and all components of package design are eligible for APR Recognition.
Is kp Infinity® water resistant?
kp Infinity® is naturally water repellent, removing the need for extra barrier coatings or layers that would make the packaging more complex and harder to recycle. Being waterproof also means that it is the perfect, hygienic choice for packaging and protecting hot and cold food while adding a new level of durability. In testing, kp Infinity® proved to be better than both bagasse and carton board in terms of water resistance.
Will kp Infinity® melt with hot food?
No, when tested against alternative materials, kp Infinity® clearly led in hot oil resistance. Trials were performed with fish and chips cooked in oil at 383°F, which had a contact temperature with packaging of between 293–320°F. The results showed almost no impact from food contact – a significant achievement when compared with alternative packaging.
Will it hold up to greasy and acidic foods?
Resistance to acids and alkalis in food packaging is a cornerstone of delivering a quality consumer experience and most foods can create a potential compromise in the integrity of packaging. kp Infinity® is best-in-class for resistance to acids and alkalis.
Will it keep food hotter for longer?
When it comes to convenience foods – whether via delivery or takeaway – keeping the food hot while transporting it is crucial to customer satisfaction. Thanks to unique thermal conduction abilities, kp Infinity® clearly outperforms its competitors.
