Total offers the best and widest range of products for storage, conservation and safe transportation of food. Two of the most outstanding polymers of Total for food packaging are Polypropylene and Polystyrene.
Polypropylene
Always aligned with the current requirements of the market
The differentiation, the security of the packaged product and the excellent processing capabilities, are the main characteristics that make the product stand out in the market, and for which a large number of producers and brands rely on Total services.
