PPI Introduces Line of HDPE Bags and Film with Recycled Content

NextLife Certified line contains 50 percent post-consumer recycled HDPE.

Boca Raton, Fla.-based NextLife Packaging Group (NPG) partner Pine Poly Inc. (PPI), Lynnfield, Mass., has introduced a line of NextLife Certified, high-molecular-weight high-density polyethylene (HDPE) bags and film that contain 50 percent post-consumer content from reclaimed water, milk and juice containers. 

“Offering performance equal to or exceeding that of products made entirely of virgin resin, the new environmentally friendly bags and film are offered in clear, tint and opaque colors in a wide range of sizes and gauges, including a full line of standard and custom sized bags,” according to a press release issued by NextLife.

The bags are available for food and non-food applications and can be ordered on coreless rolls, paper cores or loose.

Phil Rapp, NextLife Packaging COO, says the new films and bags are triple certified on all levels of production and include a third-party-provided life cycle assessments and carbon footprint analysis.

The NextLife Packaging Group represents and supports a network of manufacturers that produce sustainable raw materials, packaging and products that contain up to 100 percent post-consumer recycled content.

For more than 40 years, PPI has been providing flexible, thermo-formed and injection-molded alternatives made with up to 100 percent post-consumer recycled content.
