Soft Plastic Recyclable Pouches
The Stand Up Pouch offers a truly sustainable product lifecycle. By moving to a single plastic type, the energy and environmental impact of the pouch is massively reduced and it can be disposed of easily through domestic soft plastic recycling.
Compare this to the conventional packaging equivalent (that cannot be recycled due to multiple layers of different types of plastic), and you have a sustainable solution to market to your ‘green eco-consumer’. Being a single plastic type product that can be recycled through soft plastic recycling means it will help you achieve your 2025 national packaging targets.
Domestic recycling
When produced as a single type material product it can be placed in consumers’ kerb side recycling to be repurposed into bottles and other consumer items.
Seamless integration
We have designed this product to integrate with existing machinery and mirror the processing of our virgin PET Roll and thermoforming films, meaning it can replace existing products with ease.
Versatility
Depending on the barrier levels needed, PCR PET can be used for meat, dairy, small goods, bakery goods and a wide range of products that require film.
Long shelf-life
With the option of choosing either high barrier or medium barrier a longer shelf-life is maintained without any deterioration of the product.
Seamless integration and versatile production
We have designed the pouches to have minimal impact on existing machinery operations to reduce the need for changes other than minor adjustments to the filling process.
We will also collaborate with you to customise the product using a number of options:
- Die cut
- Surface and reverse printed
- Trap gravure printed 7-10 colours
- Tear nicked
- With or without a zip
End of life benefits
Overall plastic waste is reduced by removing the conventional Nylon, Foil, Metalised and PET layers. Instead, our Standup Pouch uses a revolutionary mono-layer so that consumers can simply pop it into their household soft plastic recycling.
By using a single material, the pouch can easily be sorted and then recycled without any pathway contamination.
Did you know?
Multi-layer pouches cannot be disposed of through the domestic soft-plastics recycling schemes which means they end up in landfill.
