PAXXUS, Inc. introduces additional variations of single-stream recycle-ready flexible materials.
17 September 2019
PAXXUS has expanded its Stream brand of flexible mono-material packaging solutions that are compatible with recycle streams #1, #2, and #5 to support sustainability initiatives. Every material in the Stream family can be tailored to precise package requirements without sacrificing performance. Many of the Stream recycle-ready materials allow for down-gauging of up to 50% compared to traditional lidding and pouch materials, providing additional reductions in waste and energy. The wide sealing window of each Stream material allows for the utmost versatility and ease of use. Stream flexible materials can be printed and are ideal for lidding, pre-made pouches, 2D form fill seal, and flow wrap applications.
