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!

Smurfit Westrock creates Quality solution to drive down emissions for Nestlé

Smurfit Westrock has worked with Nestlé to launch an innovative, paper-based tub for its iconic Quality Street sweets this Christmas. The beautifully designed pack is the first of its kind to hit supermarket shelves. Nestlé approached the packaging leader to create the trial pack as part of its ongoing initiative to reduce virgin plastic. The redesign also enables more boxes to fit on a pallet and has the potential to reduce CO2 emissions significantly. The introduction of the paper tub follows on from Nestlé switching to paper wrappers for the Quality Street sweets back in 2022, which diverted over 2 billion wrappers from landfill. Now, both the box itself and the wrappers can be put into household recycling at the end of use.
