Sustainability
Packaging is changing. Our customers' sustainability commitments — and the regulations behind them — keep raising the bar. We invest in materials, processes and partnerships that help brands hit those targets without compromising performance.
Recycle-ready by design
We offer mono-material flexible film structures (mono-PE, mono-PP) that are compatible with How2Recycle store drop-off streams, and pressure-sensitive constructions with linerless and reduced-liner options to cut waste at the point of application.
- Mono-PE & mono-PP pouch structures
- PCR-content films and face stocks
- Linerless and thin-liner PS constructions
- PLA and compostable substrates for qualifying applications
- FSC-certified paper face stocks
- Wash-off shrink sleeves for PET bottle recycling
Cleaner operations
Our North Syracuse facility runs LED-converted lighting, solvent-recovery on coater lines, and water-based and UV ink systems that reduce VOC emissions versus traditional solvent flexography. We continuously measure and reduce our environmental footprint.
Designed with the end in mind
Our prepress team helps brands navigate APR (Association of Plastic Recyclers) design guidance, How2Recycle labeling, and Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) rules emerging in California, Oregon, Colorado, Maine and Canada. The earlier we are in the design conversation, the more recyclable the finished package can be.
