Recyclable Packaging

recyclable packaging

Close the Loop now provides recyclable packaging alternatives for most of our available packaging formats. 

Close the Loop’s recyclable packaging solutions give our customers the quality packaging that comes with our brand, without the negative environmental impact of traditional packaging options, as we have made the materials easier to reclaim at the end of life.

Mono-Polymer Pouches & Films

Our recyclable packaging materials are mono-polymer flexible packs or packaging products made with a single plastic material (or materials in the same polymer family). Their simple composition makes these packaging materials easier to recycle, as they don’t mix different plastic types, which can create contamination.

Pack Cycle

We created the Pack-cycle films as a high-barrier, recyclable alternative to multi-laminate materials commonly used in most flexible packaging. This film is composed of specially formulated polyolefins, structured as a monomer-polymer material that still protects products from deteriorating agents like oxygen or moisture.

Close the Loop’s ongoing development efforts in the sustainability front have advanced Pack-cycle’s applications to include usage as rewind film and pre-made pouches. The film is also designed to endure modified atmosphere storage and vacuum sealing, making it suitable as recyclable food packaging. Plus, Pack-cycle aligns with the APCO and CEFLEX design guidelines for flexible packaging.

Why Choose Close the Loop's
Recyclable Packaging?

Making the switch to recyclable packaging has never been easier. With a variety of packaging solutions available on the market, it is important to ensure that your chosen recyclable packaging materials do not compromise your products. Given that food waste is a significant environmental burden on society, we cannot increase food waste by using different packaging types.

This is where Close the Loop’s sustainable packaging design experience comes into play. Each recyclable packaging product from us is specifically manufactured to suit its intended contents. We also offer optional packaging features that add convenience for consumers such as resealable zip closures, spout caps, easy-tear notches, and more.

Our innovation does not stop here. We continue to leverage new technology and are part of the Close the Loop Group, developing more sustainable packaging that reduces waste and enables reuse as a resource. Watch this space for more updates on Close the Loop’s recyclable flexible packaging.

Frequently Asked Questions

Our recyclable packaging is made versatile in design and composition – this makes it suitable for a wide variety of items, be it food or non-food products. However, we still encourage our customers to discuss their products and packaging needs thoroughly.

Even with existing technologies, we can not replace all complex laminates with more recycling-friendly packaging alternatives yet; but Close the Loop’s recyclable packaging materials are guaranteed safe for use with food items and we will not provide a recycling option if we believe it does not offer the required protection.
