Post-Consumer Recycled Pouches

S-OneLP has introduced a new 3.5 mil metallized stand-up pouch film designed to replace traditional 4 mil metallized packaging structures without requiring equipment changes. The product is positioned as a direct, “drop-in” alternative for converters and brands looking to reduce material usage and increase recycled content without disrupting existing production lines.

The new film contains 36% post-consumer recycled (PCR) content, created through advanced chemical recycling processes. Unlike mechanically recycled plastics, this approach produces a higher-quality recycled resin. As a result, the material addresses common PCR-related challenges such as gels, uneven surfaces, and poor curl control.

"Our product development team has worked intensively on our PCR film, which resulted in successful trials across seven sites in North America," said Andrew Kalina, director of sales at S-OneLP. "The result is a smooth laminate surface, superior curl control, and reliable performance."
