Product launch
Araven is introducing transparent professional food storage containers made with Eastman Tritan Renew copolyester. Designed in Gastronorm sizes for restaurant, hotel, catering and institutional kitchens, the range launched across Europe in September 2026 through Araven’s distributor network. The initial offer includes food pans with airtight lids and universal contact lids, as well as square containers; additional formats are expected.
Material and testing
Tritan Renew contains 25% certified recycled content allocated through a mass balance approach. Eastman uses material-to-material recycling technology to break down hard-to-recycle plastic waste into molecular building blocks for new food-safe materials. Araven describes the copolyester as a BPA-free alternative to polycarbonate.
Araven says independent validation included repeated commercial dishwasher cycles, cold-impact testing and exposure to food to assess stains and odours. The containers showed no staining or odour retention, maintained transparency and demonstrated durability, according to the company.
Production
Eastman supported Araven during material evaluation and molding. The containers use in-mold labels, which integrate branding into the product during molding.
