This is recycled material made from plastic waste generated during industrial manufacturing. Materials such as edge trim are not included because they are directly reintegrated into the same production process.
This is plastic that has been recycled after being used and discarded by consumers. Users include households and commercial, industrial and institutional facilities. PCR material also includes plastics returned from the distribution chain.
Chemical recycling breaks down plastic waste, such as films or laminates, into its basic chemical components. It enables the production of material with virgin plastic properties suitable for demanding applications, such as contact with foods.
Bio-circular materials are derived from waste and residues of biological origin, sourced from agriculture, forestry, and related industries.
Our closed-loop recycling concept is available for stretch films, bale wrap and timber covers providing a practical solution for collecting and recycling used film. By replacing part of the virgin raw material with recycled material, the concept can contribute to reducing the carbon footprint of the film.
After use, the film is collected and reprocessed by waste management companies into regranulate. The regranulate is then delivered to us and used as raw material in the production of new film.
While the quality of recycled raw materials has improved significantly in recent years, meeting the demands of certain product categories continues to present difficulties.
It is easier to replace virgin materials in some product groups than in others. For instance, our high-quality timber wrapping and waste-management films already incorporate 100% recycled materials without compromising performance.
However, stretch films must combine elasticity with strength, to ensure pallet stability and logistical security. This is harder to achieve with recycled materials. Additionally, the use of recycled material affects a film’s grip, decreasing its functionality.
Mechanically recycled material might affect the following film properties:
Recycled plastic in food packaging is restricted to chemically recycled material. However, the plastics industry is researching and testing methods to incorporate mechanically recycled materials into food-contact applications.
Our ICSS Plus certificate ensures credible verification of raw material origins, providing full traceability at every step of our supply chain.
We fully support the European Union’s mission to reduce the environmental effects of plastic packaging and promote its circularity.
The EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) introduces new requirements for packaging and packaging waste in the EU. Its objectives include the following:
We can help you declare these activities though our recycled plastics traceability certification (RecyClass), which verifies the origin and chain of custody of a product’s recycled materials.
The optimum percentage of recycled content in your packaging film depends on several factors, including its intended use, the capabilities of your production line and your environmental goals.
We are here to help. We work closely with you to determine the optimal percentage of recycled content for your specific requirements, balancing functionality, efficiency and environmental impact.
