ADVANCED RECYCLED POLYETHYLENE CONTENT

Advanced recycled polyethylene (PE) allows the incorporation of recycled content without the drawbacks of mechanically recycled PE. Allied Plastics Holdings, uses ISCC+ certified materials and produces their advanced recycled content films at ISCC+ certified facilities. Produced via mass-balance attribution (see this GAO report for more information), advanced recycled PE has significant fit for use advantages over mechanically recycled PE:

• Same FDA compliance as virgin PE grades
• Same optical, barrier and toughness properties as virgin PE grades
• Free from the high contamination and gel levels seen in mechanically recycled materials
• Films can have recycled content well over 90% helping you reach your sustainability goals

BIO-ASSIMILATION FILMS

The Eclipse™ technology in Allied Plastics Holdings, films keeps the plastic stable for the designed shelf life. When discarded at its end of life, the combination of environmental conditions and microbial action starts the degradation process. The Bio-Assimilation process breaks up the plastic to a size where biodegradation will occur. This technology works in marine and terrestrial environments. Allied Plastics Holdings, is ready to work with customers to customize the technology for product needs.

• Compatible with recycled content – PE / PP
• No impact on physical or optical properties
• Customizable functionality
• Approved for food contact

COMPOSTABLE FILMS

These films are certified home compostable, and FDA approved for food contact applications. We are also exploring additional compostable materials such as PBAT/PLA.
