To a material recovery facility (MRF) or reprocessor, the material is equivalent to a recyclable HDPE rigid bottle.

As part of Glenroy’s TruRenu™ sustainable flexible packaging portfolio, the STANDCAP pouch is now available in an all-polyethylene (HDPE) tube format that is recyclable in U.S. curbside recycling streams. While the structure itself is multilayer, as most flexible packaging pouches are, each layer is a form of HDPE, thus it’s a mono-material multilayer structure. To a material recovery facility (MRF) or reprocessor, the material is equivalent to a recyclable HDPE tube or rigid bottle.

The recyclable format joins two existing STANDCAP pouch formats, the pre-made pouch and the pouch containing PCR content. Consumers are asked to look to the pack itself for the chasing arrows HDPE #2 symbol to ensure their pack format is indeed the recyclable one.
