Half-Cut E-RP
(Microwavable Pouch)
Toyo Seikan Co., Ltd.
A microwavable plastic pouch for food with improved heat resistance and ease of opening.
•Preventing rare occurrence of pouch punctures during microwave heating.
•Easy to open straight even after microwave heating.
•Significant reduction in heating time and approximately 80% decrease in CO2 emissions during heating by switching from hot water bath heating to microwave heating.
With this product, many foods can now be heated using a microwave oven instead of hot water bath. This allows for significant reduction in heating time and contributes to a substantial decrease in CO2 emissions.
* Calculation assumptions:
・CO2 emissions from hot water bath heating:
Using a pot with a diameter of 24 cm and 1.5 L of water, the cooking time is calculated to be approximately 9 minutes, including the time it takes to boil the water and heat the pouch (assuming that one package is heated at a time).
・CO2 emissions from microwave cooking:
Calculated based on a microwave heating time of 1 minute and 50 seconds at 500W.
