Every business is unique. Even companies within the same industry will have distinctive combinations of target audiences, products, services, core values — the list goes on. While there may be similarities, every business is different. Understanding those differences is the key to serving them well.
When it comes to rPET, there’s no such thing as a one-size-fits-all solution. Verdeco recognizes the need for a wide range of products that can address industry-specific challenges, which is why we’re constantly innovating and creating rPET pellets that make sustainable applications possible.
The Importance of Sustainability Across Industries
As businesses plan for the future, they must consider growing environmental awareness. Many consumers are willing to pay more for goods made by environmentally responsible brands that use sustainable practices to secure and maintain market share. But consumers aren’t the only ones demanding sustainable products. State regulations for sustainable products and packaging are also rising, transforming eco-friendly business practices that were once mere suggestions into business-critical requirements.
For some companies, the cost and effort required to implement sustainable practices seem daunting. But the reality is that sustainable practices can reduce resource consumption and streamline operations, delivering substantial cost savings in the long run. To become a more sustainable company, businesses and their suppliers must innovate and find environmentally beneficial alternatives that solve their industry-specific challenges. A more sustainable future is possible; companies just need customized recycled materials — and a trusted rPET partner — to get started.
Verdeco’s Versatile rPET Pellets
At Verdeco, we’re reimagining what the recycling industry can do and reshaping how the world thinks about sustainability. Thanks to our advanced technology and the creativity of our research scientists, rPET applications are limited only by our customers’ imaginations.
At our Innovation Center, we’re constantly pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with rPET. Through in-house research, testing, and analysis, our R&D team develops innovative solutions tailored to the unique needs of each industry we serve. By combining material science with creativity and collaboration, we help our customers accomplish their sustainability goals. We are proud to partner with businesses across the following industries:
Food & Beverage
All food and beverage packaging must meet FDA regulations to be deemed safe for consumer use. To use rPET packaging for their products, companies must obtain a Letter of No Objection (LNO) from the FDA, confirming the processes used to create the rPET pellets have been approved. We are proud to say that Verdeco has received multiple LNOs for our pellets, allowing us to provide sustainable packaging for the food and beverage industry.
From produce packages to beverage bottles, Verdeco rPET is designed to address businesses’ specific needs. heet™ is designed for hot-fill products, making it the ideal choice for sauces and marinades. kleer™ is FDA-approved rPET with low haze and can be used for packaging where clarity is crucial. With Verdeco’s customizable rPET, food and beverage producers can rest assured that their consumers receive high-quality packaging that meets the FDA’s rigorous requirements.
Household Goods
It’s no secret that consumers become more environmentally conscious each year. The demand for sustainable packaging and the growing concern over chemical exposure in everyday life create a unique challenge — and opportunity — for businesses in the household goods industry.
Consumers want eco-friendly cleaning options with organic ingredients packaged in sustainable materials. It’s only natural that people who care about what’s inside their household cleaning products care about what’s on the outside, too. With Verdeco’s rPET pellets, companies can address these concerns while providing high-quality packaging that safely stores and protects household goods. As more end users make the switch to eco-friendly alternatives, companies that use sustainable packaging for their products can gain a competitive advantage.
Personal Care & Cosmetics
When it comes to personal care and cosmetic products, businesses need to use packaging that protects and preserves their product without contaminating or compromising it. In the cosmetics industry, known for its excessive use of plastics, companies have an opportunity to step up and be at the forefront of change. Many consumers want sustainable beauty products with ethically sourced ingredients and eco-friendly packaging, giving brands that promote these qualities an advantage.
Verdeco’s FDA-approved process produces rPET pellets that can safely hold many of the products that go in and on our bodies. Businesses can customize each of our products to meet their unique specifications, ensuring their end-use applications look good, perform well, and satisfy end users.
Nutrition & Medical
The medical field generally follows open-use-dispose practices. This is a highly regulated industry where patient safety is paramount, and disposing of plastic packaging and medical components has become part of how medical facilities ensure that safety. Without strategic change, the medical industry will continue adding to the world’s ever-growing levels of plastic waste.
At Verdeco, we’re doing our part to improve the planet’s health by creating safe rPET for nutrition companies and medical providers. Plastic is the ideal material for sterile packing, and our rPET pellets offer a recycled alternative that enables companies to safely and sustainably package their nutrition and medical products.
Automotive
The automotive industry is often scrutinized for its lack of eco-friendly practices. The rise of electric and hybrid vehicles has helped ease the growing concern about greenhouse gas emissions, but manufacturers are constantly looking for ways to enhance the sustainability of their products even further.
Due to its durability and versatility, plastic is one of the primary materials used on the interior of vehicles. Verdeco’s rPET innovations aim to provide the same durability and reliability as PET alternatives, ensuring companies get sustainable materials that meet their performance standards. By using post-consumer plastic in various car parts, companies can expand the lifespan of plastic and reduce the negative impacts of plastic waste while continuing to innovate groundbreaking automobiles.
