When it comes to sustainable business practices, there’s progress being made. Recently, the 2024 EY CEO survey found that 54% of CEOs see sustainability as more of a priority than they did a year ago. This is good news! However, for many companies, implementing eco-friendly practices, particularly when it comes to sustainable packaging, is easier said than done. Beyond acquiring the necessary resources, they’re faced with the challenge of maintaining customer satisfaction. And while customer demand for sustainable packaging has increased, the standards for quality have remained the same — meaning companies need to deliver packaging that’s both sustainable and high-quality.
Verdeco is contributing to the ever-growing circular economy by providing solutions that empower our customers to achieve their sustainability goals and reduce plastic waste, all while keeping their customers happy. Our rigorous research and development process has allowed us to break new ground and reimagine the possibilities of rPET, resulting in high-quality FDA-approved rPET pellets that can be customized for a wide range of applications.
But we know innovations that don’t leave the lab won’t change the world. That’s why we prioritize our customers’ needs and use them to inform our product development — ensuring each customer gets the exact solution they need to take their sustainability practices to the next level.
How Verdeco Uses R&D To Provide Tailored Solutions
We see our customers as collaborators and use their feedback to inform the continuous improvement of our products. Our dedicated team works with our customers to define their specific requirements for a particular application and advises on which rPET product best fits their needs. With cutting-edge technology, advanced R&D, and a best-in-class production facility, our Innovation Center has opened the door to even more opportunities for advanced customer collaboration, allowing us to make rPET pellets with varying levels of crystallization, IV, benzene levels, and more.
Our commitment to quality and innovation is at the heart of everything we do. The Verdeco Quality Management System ensures that every batch of rPET pellets meets the highest industry standards, providing our customers with reliable, consistent, and sustainable products. By continuously monitoring and improving our processes, we ensure quality and drive innovation, enabling us to deliver cutting-edge solutions that meet the evolving needs of our customers and increase our contribution to a circular economy.
Because our customers are at the center of everything we do, their satisfaction is paramount to building long-term relationships. Instead of developing a solution and convincing businesses they need it, we use our customers' needs to inform every detail of solution development. Our customers operate in a broad range of industries, from food and beverage to cosmetics and medicine. By working closely with them in the development phase, we’re able to help them solve industry-specific challenges and implement more sustainable practices.
An rPET Solution for Every Application
Our core value of operating with excellence applies to everything from customer interactions to product development. We hold ourselves to the highest standards of quality and performance while continually looking for ways to improve. Our heet™ and kleer™ solutions are a testament to this.
heet is our rPET solution for hot-fill products, such as alcoholic beverages, juices, and ketchup. Our R&D team combined creativity with material science to achieve optimal IV and minimize shrinkage while maintaining the integrity of the recycled plastic during hot-fill applications up to 85°C.
On a broader scale, one of the most common concerns is whether rPET is safe for food and beverage packaging. Our kleer product line, known for its low-haze objective, provides customers with an FDA-approved rPET alternative for bottles, containers, and jars. This solution enables businesses to accomplish their environmental goals without sacrificing performance, aesthetics, or consistency.
heet and kleer are transforming the recycling industry by helping companies achieve sustainability objectives while providing the quality products their customers expect. But we know that one size does not fit all — which is why each of our rPET solutions can be customized to meet an expansive range of specifications.
Empowering Our Customers, One rPET Pellet at a Time
We can’t build a sustainable future alone. By prioritizing our customers' needs, we can create rPET pellets that meet critical specifications, enabling the creation of products that support a circular economy, improve business practices, and preserve the planet we share.
