The post consumer recycled film is made up of a wide range of components, including varied primer coatings on the side for better printability, ultra-high barrier metalized film, and heat seal ability to satisfy customer demands.
It has strong impact strength, tensile strength, and incredibly effective barrier characteristics against water and oxygen, and it exhibits the same performance parameters as virgin PET films.
The Global Post consumer recycled film market accounted for $XX Billion in 2021 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2022 to 2030.
Dow releases a new recycled plastic resin made after consumer use. A novel post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastic resin formulation optimised for collation shrink film applications in Asia Pacific was recently developed and marketed by Dow.
A film made with the new resin performs similarly to films prepared with virgin resins thanks to its PCR content. The product, XUS 60921.01, is produced at Dow’s external manufacturing facility, using recycled plastics that have been domestically collected by Dow’s strategic recycling partners.
Durable, effective packaging that can safeguard items across their supply chains and generate little waste for customers will be needed to meet the growing demand for e-commerce.
In order to ensure that goods are delivered safely while simultaneously minimising the amount of plastic trash that ends up in our environment, Dow’s newly developed PCR resin may offer brands and customers equivalent performance to collation shrink film created with virgin resins.
The newly developed PCR resin also lowers carbon dioxide and energy footprints, assisting converters, brand owners, and retailers in achieving their sustainability goals and giving previously wasted plastics a fresh end-of-life.
An affiliate of Transcontinental Inc., TC Transcontinental Packaging, is happy to announce the availability of Integritite 30% PCR collation shrink film.
This fall, select Sam’s and BJ’s Club Store shelves in Ohio, Virginia, Maryland, West Virginia, Indiana, South Carolina, North Carolina, Arkansas, Tennessee, Kentucky, Mississippi, and Delaware will feature the new packaging in the form of an AHA Sparkling Water printed case wrap.
30% of the post-consumer plastic resin used to make Integritite PCR collation shrink film has been converted into a recyclable resource.
The brand-new Airspeed Renew air bags for void fill and block-and-brace packaging are produced from film that is 100% recyclable and contains 50% post-consumer recycled material. On the grey-colored bags, these credentials are printed in white water-based ink that is environmentally friendly.
Renew air bags come in two sizes: 200 x 130 mm and 200 x 200 mm, and are intended for use with Pregis’ Mini PAK’R and Pro PAK’R air cushioning and void fill equipment. Later this year, Antalis plans to roll out stretch films and bubble wrap made with more than 30% post-consumer recycled material.
ExtraPET PCR, a PET barrier film made from post-consumer recycled (PCR) PET, was created by Camvac. This new innovation complements Camvac’s ExtraPET film line, which is already available and largely used in the food and conversion industries.
ExtraPET PCR was specifically created to satisfy rising consumer demand for more environmentally friendly lidding film options. The goal of the new film creation is to decrease plastic waste and plastic that ends up in landfills. It also makes use of the circular economy, which lowers the need for fossil fuels, lowers carbon emissions, supports recycling streams, and improves garbage collection.
As needed for MAP & CAP packaging applications, the film continues to offer an all-PET structure and maintains Camvacs’ strong gas barrier performance, both OTR and WVTR.
The creation of CorShield VpCI-220E, the company’s most recent VCI film and bag technology, is announced with pleasure by Cortec Corporation. The new formulation incorporates 30% post-consumer recycled material in addition to better corrosion protection.
A relationship with VCI Plastic Recycling allows authorised partners in the U.S. and Europe to bring clean used VpCI-126 Film and Bags back to Cortec or EcoCortec operations for reprocessing into new film.
This is one of Cortec’s circular economy prospects. Although Cortec has long been able to include pre- and post-consumer recycled content into its VCI film, the 30% level of post-consumer recycled content represents a significant accomplishment that advances Cortec’s approach to the circular economy.
