ECO-THERM™

100% Post Consumer Recycled Content PETE
Closed Loop Program

Goal

To reclaim water, juice, soda and sports drink bottles so they can be remanufactured into FDA approved thermo formed packaging for the institution or company collecting the bottles. To “Close the Loop” and produce usable products made from items usually destined for landfills.

Method

1)  Consumers will deposit into supplied receptacles any water, juice, soda
or sports drink plastic bottle
2)  Plastic bottles will be picked up from central location periodically (based
on volume) for remanufacturing.
3)  Bottles will be processed into FDA approved sheeting made of 100%
post consumer recycled content
4)  Sheeting will be thermoformed into new packages and products made
from 100% recycled bottles returned by consumers

Advantages

Keeps bottles out of waste stream (currently 8 out of 10 end up in landfills)
Allows potential waste to be used to produce new packaging
Helps lower costs of new recycled content packaging
Reduces demand for new raw materials
