Revolution Develops Innovative Approach to Recycling Stretch Film
The company’s approach includes collection, cleaning and recycling of stretch film.
Revolution has developed an innovative approach to collect, clean and recycle stretch PE film used in food packaging, transportation and warehousing applications, turning it into certified, high-quality recycled resin for use back into new plastic film products.
According to Scott Coleman, Revolution’s sr. v.p. of strategy & growth, Revolution uses a circular, closed-loop approach to recycling where materials can be recaptured as a valuable source material and reused in the same or similar products. Revolution collects the material from post-consumer and post-industrial sources, and the material is cleaned and pelletized using the company’s proprietary process. Certified PCR and PIR resins are then marketed for use by other manufacturers to produce high-quality stretch film material.
As reported earlier this year, Revolution received a Letter of No Objection (LNO) from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the company’s proprietary recycling method to produce post-consumer recycled LLDPE for food contact applications.
