LIVINGSTON, NJ – August 20, 2021 – The Sustainable Packaging Coalition (SPC) has prequalified InteGreen Store Drop-off Recycle-Ready Barrier Films with a How2Recycle Store Drop-Off label. A finished product with this logo allows consumers to discard the used package at local retail stores for recycling. Note that the final package’s How2Recycle label may change due to product application and other factors, and any brands interested in using the label must be a member with How2Recycle.
IEF’s Store Drop-off Recycle-Ready Barrier films are available in clear and white versions and designed for applications that require high oxygen and moisture barriers. In addition, How2Recycle provides consumers a search tool for Store Drop-off locations such as Target, Walmart, and Wegmans, all of which accept our InteGreen Recycle-Ready film and other PE films.
IEF President Bob Stein said, “Our introducing the Store Drop-off Recycle-Ready barrier films is another example of our commitment to bringing sustainable films to our customers. We are excited that the SPC has prequalified our film and look forward to bringing more solutions under our InteGreen brand to the growing market demand for responsible products.”
The InteGreen line of films, launched in November 2020, incorporates recycled resins, bio-based materials, home and industrial compostability, and Store Drop-off recycle-ready properties. These durable barrier films meet the sustainability standards that complement supply chain demands and innovative plastics packaging across various industries. IEF is also in the process of expanding its Recycle-Ready portfolio to include other materials, such as nylon.
Director of Sales Steve Griggs noted the importance of the How2Recycle Store Drop-Off label for IEF’s customers. “For our customers, who are the converters that make consumer packaging as well as brand owners who are looking for sustainable packaging options, our InteGreen Store Drop-off Recycle-Ready Barrier Films is the perfect choice. It allows them the option to create consumer packaging for products that require a moisture and oxygen barrier with the option of Store Drop-off recyclability, all without compromising food safety and shelf life.”
Suppliers will increase brand visibility for customers who have established or improved sustainable practices and protocol at their facilities and among end-consumers. InteGreen films are produced at six IEF locations, Westborough, MA; Dalton, GA; Prattville, AL; Orlando, FL; Garland, TX; and Vaughan, ON.
