Producing products from post-consumer recycled materials offers numerous environmental and economic benefits. By reusing materials that would otherwise end up in landfills or incinerators, we reduce waste and minimize the need for virgin resources, thus conserving natural habitats and energy. This practice also helps lower greenhouse gas emissions and pollution associated with raw material extraction and manufacturing. Additionally, it fosters a more sustainable, circular economy, creating jobs and driving innovation in recycling technologies. Consumers increasingly appreciate and support eco-friendly products, making it a smart business choice to incorporate post-consumer recycled materials into production. Utilizing SmartCycle® consumer packaging films contributes to a greener, more resource-efficient, and socially responsible future
