Each of these sustainability technologies, listed below, can improve the customer experience of working with post-consumer recycled (PCR) content and support the use of PCR materials in packaging: Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation and reduce carbon footprint  

Estimates vary, but industry experts generally acknowledge that about 40-50% of all food meant for human consumption spoils and is thrown away before being consumed. The list includes:

    Wanderlust: It’s no secret that travel and exploration are at an all-time high. Pioneers, explorers and nomads of all ages are aching to experience life with a lighter load and find the shared humanity that unites cultures across the globe.

To comply with all of these standards meant covering the wire with more than one layer of jacketing and insulation materials – and that meant running the product through the extruder more than once.  In 2014, more than a third of all new U.S. electrical capacity came from solar projects, according to the Solar Energy Industries Association.  In setting reengineering objectives, the manufacturer was mindful that simply layering components that meet the various UL specifications wouldn’t necessarily mean a UL listing for the finished product.

Brand owners for all types of consumer products are setting sustainability goals to increase the amount of post-consumer recycled content (PCR) used in their packaging and improve the recyclability of that packaging at end of use.

Opportunities for metal replacement are all around us,” noted Eric Wollan, general manager of PlastiComp at Avient. Examples include:  •    Barrier technologies that preserve the shelf-life and quality of food, beverages, medicine and other perishable goods through high-performance materials that require less plastic •    Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation  •    Breakthrough technologies that minimize wastewater and improve the recyclability of materials and packaging across a spectrum of end uses
