NEW YORK, July 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Safetek
International, Inc. (Pink Sheets: SFIN) announced today that its
subsidiary, Newave Packaging, Inc., has commenced marketing its new
environmentally friendly ewrap™ food wrap film for meat,
poultry, produce and frozen foods. Management hopes to position the
company as a leading supplier of 'green' packaging products to the
food packaging industry.
Food Wrap Cling Film Polyethylene (PE), the base material used
in the manufacture of ewrap™ is a simple structure polymer
that is believed to place less Eco-strain on the environment than
other materials. In testing, PE disintegrated in a given time
period and, when annihilated, burned down to hydrogen & carbon
without residual polluting side effects. Management believes PE is
slowly replacing conventional PVC films because PVC contains toxic
plasticizers (such as phthalates), stabilizers containing dangerous
heavy metals (such as lead), fungicides and other toxic
substances.
Advantages of ewrap™ over conventional PVC cling film,
based on Company testing, include:
- Harmless. 100% non-toxic
- Eco-Friendly. 100% recyclable
- Conforms to food contact regulations
- More economical than PVC, lower density of LLDPE than PVC
- 30% less material used in manufacturing PE than PVC
- Engineered to last as long as required
Commenting on the ewrap™ products, Stefan Gudmundsson, CEO of Newave Packaging,
Inc., said: "All our plastic bags, films and sheets are non-PVC
based and 100% recyclable, and have the potential to be made 100%
degradable with the addition of degradable plastic additives. These
products could ultimately degrade in a landfill environment. Based
on testing, once the process is complete, carbon dioxide, water and
biomass will remain, leaving only non-toxic by-products."
Shmuel Shneibalg, President of
Safetek Packaging, Inc., commented that "the Company is working
towards compliance with the US Administrations' requirement for the
industry to be PVC-free. Management believes this could help drive
us toward the forefront of 'green' revolution. I am very excited by
the response from potential customers and this bodes well for our
growth plans."
