New packages that use half as much plastic as a heavy clamshell can lead to reduced shipping costs, and therefore fewer greenhouse gas emissions.
Packaging company Winterborne created Enviroshell blister packaging as an oyster alternative. It uses recycled PET plastic and recycled paperboard as well as soy-based inks. Corrugated board is sealed with water-based glue.
The stiff board sandwiches the plastic without adhesives, so both can be separated and recycled. Packaging designers praise Enviroshell for holding heavy products well and being easy to take apart, although a blade is ideal for cutting the board.
