Accredo Packaging 

A revolutionary new film technology that allows for fully-recyclable stand-up pouches with enhanced features. This new product offering provides substantially improved characteristics over existing competitive pouches including optical properties, strength, gloss, and tear. Additionally, the improved temperature resistance of this proprietary film technology can allow customers to run fully-recyclable pourches where competitive offerings have been unsuccessful. By enhancing the properties of all-PE pouch, we allow customers to convert from non-recyclable structures to a Sustainable Packaging Coalition approved format. The potential utilization of the How2Recycle lable will divert waste from landfill into the recycling stream, and will allow companies using rigid structures to convert to flexible formats without sacrificing recyclability. This will decrease the amount of waste in landfills, decrease materials usage with flexible conversion, and the operational benefits bring recyclable pouches from niche and difficult to run mainstream.

HDPE (#2) bottles is the source material for the PCR content. 

Carbon, Inc. 

Carbon RPU 130 is a breakthrough rigid polyurethane material for additive manufacturing that exhibits a combination of properties not previously demonstrated in the industry. This new high-performance material combines toughness, rigidity, and high temperature resistance in a single material—a previously unmet need. RPU 130 delivers not only superior performance in industrial applications, but also a material composition that addresses the urgent need for high-performance polymers that are also more environmentally sustainable. A milestone for the industry in joining unprecedented material properties with considerably reduced environmental burden, roughly 30% of RPU 130 is plant-derived. Achieving more sustainable materials is a central focus of Carbon’s materials development program. Thus, for RPU 130, to create not just a better performing plastic for parts and products, but a more sustainable one, Carbon incorporated a 100% bio-based building block (Susterra® propanediol, produced by DuPont Tate & Lyle Bio Products).

Eastman

Carbon Renewal Technology (CRT), which breaks down waste plastics into molecular building blocks like carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen and turns those building blocks into new virgin-quality plastics. This technology gives new life to waste plastic – such as single-use plastic, textiles, carpet and other mixed plastics – by breaking it down to molecular level building blocks for acetyls and cellulosic production. Post-industrial and pre-consumer scrap feeds into the process, closing the loop on the mixed plastic lifecycle. Eastman developed an innovative way to modify the front end of our acetyls and cellulosic manufacturing processes to accept waste plastic feedstocks. Through Carbon Renewal Technology, waste plastics are broken down to molecular level building blocks, allowing it to be recycled an infinite number of times without degradation in properties or quality.

In time, we also foresee that our products will receive FDA approvals due to their exceptional purity, and may find their way into personal care items such as body lotions, creams, lip balms, and many more. Pharmaceutical grade solutions could be the next step further in the line.

Atando Cabos 

Atando Cabos is a circular economy initiative that arises from the dream of restoring the coastal ecosystem of Patagonia, invaded by massive amounts of plastic from discarded fishing and fish farming gear (ropes, nets and buoys). Up to date, we’ve recovered and upcycled more than 1.800 tons of discarded plastic. Atando Cabos brings together communities, authorities and industry members to overcome all the challenges that the complex geography of Patagonia represents, to recover and recycle these discarded materials.We developed our own proprietary processes to obtain high quality raw materials: PP, PE, PA and EPS. These materials are then transformed into high quality and long life plastic products as pallets, crates, water harvesting systems, etc. We aim to support the brand owners to comply with their plastic-to-waste reduction goals without sacrificing business performance. Atando Cabos enables a new way for brand Owners to relate to their customers sharing a purpose and gaining trust with them.
