Atlantic’s Recycling Equipment and PCR
Atlantic has invested in recycling equipment to:
*Recapture used stretch film from our customers
*Transform used stretch film into high-quality post-consumer resin (PCR)
*Repurpose that PCR into new stretch film!

This creates a closed-loop system that keeps waste out of landfills and the environment. Atlantic will turn upwards of 10 million pounds of stretch film into high-quality resin!

Why is Stretch Film Necessary?
Stretch film is essential to B2B packaging. It allows manufacturers to get their products to retailers and distribution centers efficiently and without damage.

Loads of products that are improperly stretch wrapped before transportation often end up destroyed and unusable. Without stretch film people wouldn’t be able to get the products they need, and there’s nothing more unsustainable than wasting resources on products that cannot be used!

Atlantic works with its customers to make their stretch wrapping operations as efficient, inexpensive, and sustainable as possible. Our MUST Stretch Film Monitoring System and Quality Control Team ensure that stretch wrapping operations are optimally standardized and film application is consistent!

Metsä Spring and Valmet construct a pilot plant in Äänekoski to develop a significant new added-value product for the forest industry

Metsä Group’s innovation company Metsä Spring and Valmet have decided to continue the development collaboration related to 3D fibre products and hence, to invest jointly approximately EUR 20 million in a new R&D project. As part of the project, a greenfield pilot plant will be built on Metsä Group’s mill site in Äänekoski, Finland. When operational, the pilot plant will employ roughly 10 persons. The technology applied in the pilot plant converts wet wood pulp into final 3D fibre products without any intermediate steps. In other words, the new environmentally-friendly 3D fibre products are ready to be shipped to end customers as such. “Our objective is to develop a novel wood-based 3D fibre product, which can replace, for instance, packages made out of fossil raw materials. The pre-study phase with Valmet was a success. We have thus decided to accelerate the pace of development by constructing a pilot plant. I believe that our possibilities for developing a new significant added-value product for the Finnish forest industry are good”, says Jarkko Tuominen, head of the project at Metsä Spring.
