WINNIPEG, MB, Feb. 9, 2023
/PRNewswire/ - Winpak Ltd. ("Winpak" or the "Company"), an industry
leader in sustainable packaging innovations, is pleased to provide
some exciting updates on its sustainable product lineup.
Following up on the 2019 launch of its ReFresh™ Recycle-Ready
product portfolio, Winpak has made significant progress within the
last 18 months on the commercialization of its forming and
non-forming recycle-ready films - ReForm and ReLam. Anchored in its
vision "To Provide the Best Packaging Solutions for People and
Planet", Winpak has already onboarded customers throughout
North America on a fully
commercial scale.
"These revolutionary materials provide a unique advantage to
customers looking to make substantial reductions to their carbon
footprint and comply with their sustainability pledges", said
Reinaldo Piña, Technical Product Manager, Multi-Barrier Films at
Winpak. "They are available to interested customers in North,
Central and South America as we
expand our portfolio into new applications everyday".
ReForm and ReLam are over 95 percent from the Polyolefin family
and would meet the requirements for Polyethylene mono-material
recycling streams with a barrier component of less than 5 percent
to maintain the highest shelf-life standards required in the food
industry. Their superior machineability, optics and performance are
comparable to traditional multilayer structures. Both materials are
pre-qualified* through the How2RecycleTM and
NexTrexTM store drop-off recycling programs. For brand
owners and retailers looking to follow the "Golden Design Rules" by
the Consumer Goods Forum (CGF) for flexible packaging, ReForm and
ReLam are excellent choices.
Winpak provides ReForm and ReLam in multiple gauges from 75 to
275 microns and from 65 to 175 microns respectively, with easy peel
options on the non-forming material. Both materials can also
contain post-consumer resin content (PCR), certified by the ISCC
PLUS standard.
*Final approvals are provided by How2Recycle™ and NexTrex™
based on their own evaluation standards.
