The Bottle Box is an FDA-approved food container that uses only 100% recycled #1 plastic bottles. Bottle Boxes are manufactured on-site at the company’s recycling plants where large bales of plastic bottles are ground down, flaked and washed in preparation to extrude long rolls of 100% recycled PET. Thermoform machines then form the RPET into a variety of clamshells. Extrusion, thermoform and labeling jobs have been created in 2 facilities—1 in Sun Valley and 1 in Salinas--to keep up with demand.
The company points to the collaborative effort—between the 2 companies AND the consumers who recycle the bottles—as the source of their success. Says Craig Snedden, President Direct Pack, Inc., "We have worked vigorously to launch our product, and now we are eager to put the right people in place,” to continue their success.
