Casey Container acquires rights to new EcoPure technology

Casey Container Corp. has acquired the licensing rights to incorporate EcoPure biodegradable additive into the manufacture of plastic containers for use in the food, beverage and pharma packaging industries.

The company has also begun trading under the symbol CSEY-OTCBB.

Utilizing the new FDA-approved EcoPure technology, Casey Container plans to produce custom plastic container products that utilize standard polymers such as PET for strength, shelf-life, appearance and longevity, but have the added advantage of being biodegradable in both compost and landfill environments, where the material is consumed by microbial activity in two to five years.

These containers will also be recyclable and can therefore be mixed into the standard polyethylene terephthalate (PET) recycling stream.

Other types of biodegradable bottles, such as oxo-degradable or poly lactic acid (PLA; corn based) plastics, cannot be recycled with traditional plastics.

At launch, Casey Container will primarily serve food, beverage, and pharmaceutical companies that are eco-conscious and understand the competitive advantage biodegradable plastic packaging offers in today's marketplace.
