in the Fish & Seafood Industry

Sustainability is integral to our approach to innovation.

 Our durable, reusable, and fully recyclable containers are designed to support the fish and seafood industry in reducing environmental impact, improving operational efficiency, and maintaining product integrity throughout the value chain.

Built for Long-Term Use

Sæplast containers are constructed with robust triple-wall polyethylene, delivering exceptional durability in challenging seafood processing and logistics environments. Their long service life helps reduce waste and the frequency of replacements.

100% Recyclable Materials

Our containers are made from monomaterial polyethylene, allowing for full recyclability at end-of-life. This supports circular economy goals and helps prevent materials from ending up in landfills or marine ecosystems.

Transport Efficiency That Reduces Emissions

Innovative design features such as stackability and our Twin Container system allow for significantly more efficient backhaul transport. This contributes to lower freight emissions and reduced overall carbon footprint.

Superior Insulation for Ice Optimization

Engineered with effective thermal insulation, Sæplast containers help maintain consistent temperatures—minimizing ice melt, preserving seafood quality, and reducing energy use in the cold chain.

Designed for Hygiene and Food Safety

Seamless, non-porous polyethylene surfaces prevent moisture absorption and bacterial growth, supporting strict hygiene standards while extending product shelf life and reducing spoilage.

Lifecycle Services that Maximize Value
