A Small Change Today

For a better tomorrow

PCR film is part of our commitment to deliver innovative, high-quality solutions that help customers reduce environmental impact — without compromising performance.

01

Reduces Virgin Plastic Use

Every roll displaces new resin with recovered post-consumer material.

02

Lower Carbon Footprint

Recycled content lowers the cradle-to-gate emissions of your packaging.

03

Supports a Circular Economy

Keeps recovered plastic in active use instead of the waste stream.

Material & Sourcing

Recycled content, verified

Mechanically recycled, reviewed for food contact, and made in the USA.

01

Mechanically recycled — not mass balance

Our PCR is physically recycled resin: real recycled material in the film, provable by actual content. As states like California move to require recycled-content claims be based on physical content rather than accounting allocations, mechanical recycling is the defensible position.

02

Reviewed for food contact

The recycling process behind our PCR resin carries an FDA Letter of No Objection for food-contact use.

03

Made in the USA

Domestic supply, domestic manufacturing.

Film made with post-consumer recycled (PCR) resin — plastic recovered after consumer use and reprocessed into new film.

30% post-consumer recycled content.

The recycling process behind our PCR resin holds an FDA Letter of No Objection for food contact. Suitability depends on the specific product and use — we'll confirm it for yours.

Mechanically recycled. The recycled content is physically present in your film — not allocated through mass balance accounting.

PCR adds real, physical recycled content to your packaging, which is what actual-content rules require. Your specific obligations depend on your products — we provide documentation to support your position.

No. PCR film is recycled and recyclable in conventional recycling streams; it does not compost. For compostable film, see our Terra-V line.

Yes. It's engineered as a drop-in for standard converting and packaging lines.

It depends on the film and application — contact us for current minimums and lead times.
