We talk a lot about building a more sustainable future, but that means nothing if we don’t put actions behind those words. Creating a circular economy that benefits people and protects the planet is more than one person or company can do on their own. If we’re going to make a positive impact on a global scale, collaboration is more important than ever.
At Verdeco, we believe in the power of partnership. By working alongside our customers, we provide innovative rPET solutions that meet their production needs and make a lasting impact.
Why Collaboration Is Crucial
Getting post-consumer plastics from waste bins to grocery store shelves requires a chain of business partnerships committed to implementing more sustainable practices. These partnerships are the foundation of a circular economy.
The circular economy consists of several key players, each with a distinct role in driving sustainability forward. Collection companies and MRFs are the front line, responsible for collecting waste and sorting through recyclable materials. In the case of plastic, recyclable products are collected, cleaned, and ground into flakes. Verdeco adds value to recycled plastic by using material science to transform flakes into custom rPET pellets that meet customer specifications and can be used for a wide array of sustainable solutions. But the recycling process doesn’t stop there.
rPET can’t make its intended impact if it isn’t used, which is why we work with manufacturers to ensure they have custom FDA-approved rPET to create packaging that aligns with their product offerings and satisfies their end users. While manufacturers carefully select high-quality solutions to make their products appealing to retailers, consumers are the ones who drive market demands. If a retailer doesn’t think customers will be drawn to a product, they won’t bother putting it on their shelves.
Collaboration within the circular economy creates a space where different players work together to promote sustainable practices. Without it, the brighter future we all want would be impossible.
Verdeco’s Collaborative Approach to Sustainability
There’s no one-size-fits-all sustainable solution, so we work closely with each of our customers to develop customized solutions that meet their unique needs. Our customers operate in a wide range of industries, from food and beverage to cosmetics and medicine. We partner with them in the development phase to help them solve industry-specific challenges and implement more sustainable practices.
Our commitment to innovation — not only in recycling technology but also in our overall business approach — has allowed us to reimagine the possibilities of rPET. Our Innovation Center in Greenville, South Carolina, is a testament to this commitment. With cutting-edge technology, advanced R&D, and a best-in-class production facility, this center has opened the door to even more opportunities for innovation and customer collaboration, allowing us to make rPET pellets with customized levels of crystallization, IV, benzene levels, and more.
