Our Beyond PCR™ machine film is specifically certified by SCS Global to have 25% Post Consumer Recycled (PCR) resins. Using SCS Global’s strict standards, these resins have been certified through the entire value chain. Post-consumer resins must come from stretch film that an end-user customer has used for its intended purpose. That stretch film is then picked up by a waste hauler and delivered to a certified recycler to be re-pelletized, cleaned, and then sold to Paragon Films to create 25% post-consumer-recycled machine film. This clear certification helps sustainability leaders and consumers of our products understand the true impact of reducing plastic waste. Here is a link to our certifications on SCS Global https://hubs.ly/Q02DLwrX0.

Embracing #circulareconomy at Plastrans Technologies GmbH 🌍 Recycled plastics are pivotal in transitioning to a circular economy. By incorporating our high-quality #recyclates into new products, we're extending the life of materials, significantly reducing the need for new plastic production, and minimizing waste generation. This approach is not just environmentally friendly; it's economically sound. 🌍 Here's why our recycled plastics are so versatile: ➡️ Material variety: Our recyclates cover a wide spectrum of materials suitable for various recycling methods. Whether it's HDPE, PET, or other plastic types, we provide versatile solutions to meet your recycling requirements. ➡️ Performance: Recyclates maintain exceptional mechanical and thermal properties, making them suitable for a wide range of applications. ➡️ Traceability: We provide detailed traceability data, so you know the exact source and composition of the recycled plastics you're using. ➡️ Environmental impact: Using recyclates significantly reduces your carbon footprint compared to virgin plastic, contributing to your sustainability goals. 🌏 As the global demand for plastics continues to rise, it's crucial that we all play a part in addressing the environmental challenges associated with plastic production and disposal. 🌏 https://lnkd.in/dsZ6RbRQ

On this #GlobalRecyclingDay ♻️, we're proud to reaffirm our commitment to sustainability and the circular economy! We understand that recyclability isn't just an afterthought—it's integral to the entire lifecycle of a product. Our products are designed with recyclability in mind from the very start. This not only benefits the environment but also empowers consumer brands to amplify their sustainability efforts. By designing for recyclability, we're not only reducing our environmental footprint but combatting plastic waste and creating a more sustainable future for all. Let's continue to innovate and lead the way towards a circular economy! Here are just a few of the recyclable innovations we have to offer: 🥩kp FlexiVac® R: Fully recyclable vacuum film A multi-layer recyclable vacuum film, certified 100% recyclable as PE by cyclos–HTP and certified by Interseroh. kp FlexiVac® R protects fresh food products, preserving quality, freshness and reducing food waste in a crystal-clear pack. https://lnkd.in/dJVXahNm 🧴Pentalabel® SmartCycle®: shrink-sleeve film Shrink sleeves made with Pentalabel® SmartCycle® film recycles directly with any PET bottle or container. Recycling labels right with the container or bottle increases the amount of post-consumer recycled material available which reduces the burden on new raw materials and enhances the circular economy. https://lnkd.in/dYK6Wdq3 🥡kp Infinity®: food-to-go packaging The fully recyclable choice with a low carbon footprint that is microwaveable and keeps food hotter for longer. https://lnkd.in/dzvhv8JJ 💊kpNext®: pharmaceutical blister packaging An alternative to vinyl blister films. kpNext® films are designed to be recyclable and work with existing production lines. https://lnkd.in/dmgdjFrv #InvestinginBetter #ClosetheLoop #CircularEconomy #Recyclability

I belive this is one of the most important steps in managing plastic packaging and recycling into the future
With the European Commission's proposal to have all EU packaging reusable or recyclable by 2030, we must address one roadblock—the lack of available quality recyclates. On behalf of the Alliance, a report by @Eunomia Research & Consulting calls for urgent industry alignment to define the appropriate quality specifications for mechanical recyclates. This is a crucial step to boost the overall volume of recycled content in plastic products.

♻️ Can a bottle come back as a bottle, over and over again? Plastic, which is made from oil and gas, is notoriously difficult to recycle. Recent research highlighted on The Guardian blog suggests that plastic producers and the oil and gas industry have been advocating for recycling despite knowing for over 30 years that it's not a viable waste management solution. In recent years, industry lobbying groups have also advocated for chemical recycling, which breaks plastic polymers into smaller molecules to create new plastics, synthetic fuels, and other products. However, this process is more polluting and energy-intensive than traditional recycling methods. The key solution to the plastic problem lies in halting the introduction of new plastics into the supply chain, entirely. That's why we support innovative ventures like One.five and Wayout. 🌿 one • fıve: A pioneering biomaterials research and development company, offering circular, cleaner, and custom packaging solutions, thus eliminating plastics from the consumer packaged goods industry. 💧 WAYOUT: Revolutionizing water treatment with container-sized facilities that transform local contaminated water into safe, drinkable water. Wayout's localized approach tackles multiple sustainability challenges across the water production value chain while eliminating the need for plastic bottling. If you're a startup dedicated to creatively eliminating plastics from our world, we encourage you to connect with us. #sustainability #plasticpollution #plasticalternatives Martin Weber, Claire Hae-Min Gusko, Ulf Stenerhag, Doerte Hirschberg, Morten Halborg, Malin Carlstrom, Stefan Maard

The adoption of postconsumer recyclate and postindustrial recyclate is a key element in the plastic industry’s significant transformation toward sustainability. While these materials offer substantial potential for reducing environmental impact, processors must grapple with contamination, variability and quality control to fully realize these benefits. https://bit.ly/43qBxJA #materials #purgingcompounds

Abbreviations are used in all areas of life, and packaging is no stranger to them. When it comes to sustainability in packaging, abbreviations are everywhere. Here are a few you may or may not know. What abbreviations, acronyms, or initialisms have you been seeing in packaging? • PCR – Post Consumer Recycled - finished products that are used by the consumer and then recycled • PCW – Post Consumer Waste – the same as PCR • PIW – Post Industrial Waste - waste generated from the manufacturing process that cannot be reclaimed within the same process. Commonly referred to as pre-consumer waste. • PET – Polyethylene terephthalate. • MRF – Materials Recovery Facility • APR – Association of Plastic Recyclers (APR)(check them out, their website is full of valuable information) Want to know more about PCR packaging? https://lnkd.in/gKdTKgUZ #sustainablepackaging #packaging #circulareconomy

Of course it’s always better to reduce first, but if you have materials destined for the landfill, it’s important to know what can and can’t be recycled. Also keep in mind that just because the technology exists to recycle a particular material, it may not be getting recycled in your community due to market conditions. Best to check with your waste hauler

The chemical recycling process that creates the advanced recycled content of our AR Pouch is a compelling breakthrough in sustainable packaging. Through a procedure called pyrolysis, mixed plastic waste can be broken down into base chemicals, which can then be converted to virgin-quality recycled plastic. Our Circular Pouch takes it a step further. Not only does this leading-edge innovation use AR materials, but it also incorporates PCR materials that are safe for direct food contact. Furthermore, it’s a recycle-ready structure, which adds a valuable layer to its sustainability offerings. #SustainablePackaging #FlexiblePackaging #Sustainability
