The Technology

Patented lamination, built into the fiber.

Cirkla's patented lamination process bonds a multi-layer barrier liner directly to the fiber substrate during manufacturing. The barrier becomes part of the structure, delivering the oxygen, moisture, and gas-flush performance that MAP-grade fresh protein and vacuum skin packaging require.

The Economics

In EPR states, fiber is cheaper than plastic.

Extended Producer Responsibility fees are live in Oregon and Colorado. California, Maine, Maryland, and Minnesota follow. Plastic trays carry a fee roughly 3× higher than Cirkla's - and that gap widens as more states go live.
