kp Infinity® launches in North America

News 07.06.2025

Klöckner Pentaplast (kp), a global manufacturer of rigid and flexible packaging and specialty film solutions, announces the launch of its award-winning kp Infinity® foodservice packaging in North America, following the Association of Plastic Recyclers (APR) Design® validation.

The kp Infinity® range, made from Expanded Polypropylene (EPP), offers a fully recyclable, high-performance alternative to Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) single-use foodservice packaging, which has been banned in Europe, and increasingly, across the US.

With more states set to implement similar bans throughout 2025, including Washington D.C., Virginia and California, this North American expansion positions kp at the forefront of sustainable foodservice packaging solutions in the region.

"The growing wave of legislation targeting expanded polystyrene single-use food packaging across North America demands smarter approaches to material selection and design," said Keith Schrage, North America Director of Sales, Food Packaging, at kp. "This is precisely where kp shines. Our kp Infinity® solution doesn't just help foodservice businesses navigate complex regulatory changes - it turns a compliance challenge into a competitive advantage with superior performance, full recyclability, and now APR Design® validation. We're giving North American customers a proven solution that's already transforming the European market."

According to company, kp Infinity® maintains exceptional thermal retention properties, keeping hot food hotter for longer compared to alternative materials like bagasse or carton board packaging. The mono-material EPP construction is also resistant to water, hot oils, and acids, reducing leaks and spills, while remaining cool to the touch. It is also fully microwaveable for consumer convenience.
