Interstate Launches GREENCOAT® Website for Sustainable Packaging Buyers
GREENCOATâ website (www.greencoat.net) makes requesting information and samples of wax-alternative corrugated boxes easy for packaging buyers in the poultry, meat, seafood, fresh produce, floral, and landscaping industries.
Interstate Container has released a website for GREENCOATâ wax-free boxes, a corrugated packaging solution for companies in need of strong and sustainable moisture-resistant corrugated packaging. Interstate Container Cambridge and Interstate Container Columbia ship over 3.2 million wax-alternative boxes each month. The boxes are compostable and FBA-certified 100% recyclable and repulpable.
About GREENCOATâ Wax-Replacement Boxes
GREENCOATâ boxes provide the same strength than traditional cascaded wax boxes and curtain coated wax boxes. They withstand high exposure to moisture, rough handling, long storage, transportation, and shifts from cold-to-hot environmental conditions. GREENCOATâ boxes are also easier to glue than waxed boxes.
Interstate Container controls 100% of GREENCOATâ’s manufacturing process; the company does not outsource the coating of paper to third parties, which increases cost effectiveness. Likewise, customers experience cost savings, when they no longer have to pay landfill disposal fees.
Interstate Container Cambridge invested 5 years of R&D to develop and successfully trial GREENCOATâ wax-alternative boxes with leading poultry processor, Mountaire Farms. GREENCOATâ has reduced an estimated 100,000 tons of greenhouse gases for Mountaire Farms, lowered costs and streamlined Mountaire Farm’s supply chain.
Interstate Container has received awards for GREENCOATâ and for its contributions to its local communities. Dorchester Chamber of Commerce named Interstate Container Cambridge 2011 Large Chamber Business of the Year for its good standing with obligations and active support of the community and chamber activities.
At the 11th Annual Sustainable Design Awards, Global Green, a non-profit organization dedicated to fostering global climate improvement, awarded 1st Pioneer Award to Interstate Container for its advancements with GREENCOATâ.

Unipak, Certified Yum! Supplier: Superior Quality Standards to Ensure Food Safety Procedures
For OUTBOUND home page, go to http://outbound.indevcogroup.com
“Yum!" re-approves Unipak as corrugated pizza box supplier to Pizza Hut, a "Yum!" top restaurant brand.
Unipak passed the Yum! Quality Assurance Audit and Food Safety re-audit on 23 – 24 November 2011. The food safety certification was originally received in December 2010.
Mahmoud Sallam, Yum! certified Food Safety & Quality System Auditor, conducted the two day audit. The corrugated packaging manufacturer meets the high quality and food safety standards, in line with its on-going strive for excellence in quality and management systems.
Marwan Diab, Unipak General Manager, explains,
“In today’s packaging world, we are witnessing an increasing need for harmonized certification in food safety systems especially amongst global players such as Yum! brands.
As part of Unipak's continuous development strategy in the food and catering packaging sector, the company has recently obtained the Yum! certification with excellence. This certification ensures justified confidence that all necessary measures are taken to guarantee food safety throughout the different links of the supply chain.
Furthermore, this certification has helped us, not only gain accessibility to new multinationals and geographic markets, but also have the highest industry standards in the area of pest control, sanitation, operations and facility management, good manufacturing practices and product protection, as well as recovery and food security.
Certifications, such as that of Yum!, have always been key success factors in driving continuous quality improvement across our organization.”
In addition to pizza boxes, Unipak manufactures other corrugated packaging for the catering sector, such as cup carry-out trays, double-decker pizza boxes, single serve takeout boxes, and takeout boxes for meals.
About Yum! Rigorous Supplier Approval System
Yum! Brands Inc., based in Louisville, Ky., has over 36,000 restaurants in over 117 countries and territories, making it the world's largest restaurant company in terms of system restaurants. Yum! restaurant brands, including Pizza Hut, KFC, and Taco Bell, are among global leaders. [1]
Yum! selects suppliers based on the industry-renowned Supplier Tracking and Recognition (STAR) system. The audit system focuses on key focal points: good manufacturing practices and product protection, operations and facility management, recovery and food security, pest control, and sanitation.
Yum! searches for suppliers that demonstrate excellent performance in food safety and security practices, as well as quality control in management processes.[2]
