Placon Corporation Announces Formation of Green Team(TM)
MADISON, WI (October 26, 2006)-Placon Corporation announces the creation of its Green Team(TM), its latest initiative to assist with the conversion to sustainable packaging.
As an increasing number of retailers (and consumers) across the country ask for sustainable, earth-friendly packaging, Placon's Green Team(TM) can support consumer product goods companies in their efforts to meet these "green" packaging requests.
"We're on the cutting edge of sustainable thermoformed packaging," says Dan Mohs, Executive Vice President, Sales & Marketing with Placon. "In 1974, we began recycling scrap plastic. Today, we are the largest user and converter of recycled-PET within our industry and all of our recycled-PET products are compliant with the California Rigid Plastic Packaging Container Law, one of the nation's toughest packaging laws."
"Our dedicated Green Team(TM), comprised of employees from throughout our company, will work with our customers during the entire process, from idea conception, to design, to manufactured product," says Dan Tafaro, National Sales Manager. "Our experience as a leader in sustainable packaging allows us to deliver our customers' products on time and on budget."
Based in Madison, Wisconsin, Placon has been a leader in the thermoformed packaging industry for 40 years. The company designs and manufactures plastic thermoforms for packaging used by the food, retail, and medical industries. Placon is a member of the Sustainable Packaging Coalition.
