New optimized Ready2Cook® cotainers

reduces costs

Plus Pack’s Ready2Cook® range in aluminium is popular for warm ready meals and widely recognized for its simple, elegant design. Aluminium is a unique material because it tolerates temperatures from -40ºC to 350ºC (200ºC if lacquered). This means that Ready2Cook® containers can go from freezer or fridge to microwave oven, oven or on the grill.

For this reason, we have launched two of our most popular Ready2Cook® containers in optimized lightweight variants:

 

·        00581 (178x136x34mm) can replace 00580

·        01024 (220x150x45mm) can replace 01026 

In addition, the lightweight design of Ready2Cook® 00581 and 01024 can help lower recycling fees under the EU's Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) schemes, saving both on materials and environmental impact.
