Description: This innovative packaging material is an unsupported coextruded film containing 30% post-consumer recycled (PCR) resin—a first in potato packaging. Developed in direct response to Walmart’s Project Gigaton initiative, which aims to reduce or avoid 1 billion metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions from the global value chain by 2030, the film demonstrates a major step toward sustainable packaging. The challenge was to maintain clarity, seal integrity, and impact resistance while incorporating recycled content. Through advanced resin engineering, the result is a durable, high-performance, and environmentally responsible packaging solution.
