Plastic Ingenuity has collaborated with US plastics recycling company PureCycle Technologies to enhance coffee lid production.<\/p>\n

Under the partnership, Plastic Ingenuity\u202fis using\u202fPureCycle\u2019s\u202fPureFive recycled polypropylene to make coffee lids, containing 25% to 100% recycled content.<\/p>\n

The project centres on supplying recycled-content packaging for the food service sector.<\/p>\n

Coffee lids were identified as a high-volume product where the use of virgin plastic can be reduced.<\/p>\n

Plastic Ingenuity sustainability and innovation director Zach Muscato said: \u201cPlastic Ingenuity has always focused on helping our customers navigate the evolving demands of sustainable packaging.<\/p>\n

\u201cIntegrating PureFive\u202fresin into our coffee lid platform allows us to deliver a recycled solution that maintains the quality, consistency, and performance our customers expect. This is a meaningful step forward in supporting our partners\u2019 sustainability goals without compromise.\u201d<\/p>\n

PureFive resin is made through PureCycle\u2019s dissolution recycling process.<\/p>\n

The process removes colour, odour, additives and other plastics from post-consumer polypropylene, producing a recycled material with characteristics comparable to virgin resin.<\/p>\n

The resin is GreenCircle Certified for recycled content and is cleared for food-contact use through a no objection letter from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).<\/p>\n

This allows its use in food-contact packaging applications.<\/p>\n

PureCycle director of sustainability and external affairs Christian Bruey commented: \u201cPlastic Ingenuity is a strong example of how forward-thinking manufacturers are leading the transition to more sustainable packaging.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud to support their efforts by providing a recycled polypropylene solution that helps meet both performance and sustainability requirements in demanding applications like coffee lids.\u201d<\/p>\n

In February, PureCycle and Toppan partnered to develop more sustainable flexible films and thermoformed packaging.<\/p>\n

That work produced a snack bar wrapper with more than 30% recycled content using PureCycle\u2019s PureFive resin.<\/p>\n
