Accelerate Your Transition to Recycled Packaging Materials
In 2023, Micro-Pak opened a state of the art plastic-recycling factory in Hubei, China, with a primary mission to provide brands with a practical solution to transition to recycled packaging materials, helping them comply with increasingly stringent EU and US laws on recycled content.
Our facility transforms over 10 metric tonnes of plastic waste each day into the highest quality 100% post-consumer recycled (PCR) resin that is GRS-certified and traceable. Your existing packaging suppliers can use our resin to make 100% recycled polybags, wraps, films and other packaging materials without any cost increase and without changing their production processes. It is a practical and cost effective solution to transition to recycled packaging.

Closing the Loop
Increasing recycled content is one important step, but what happens to polybags and other plastic waste after they reach your stores? The unfortunate truth is that most of it goes directly to landfill:
Over 180 BILLION polybags are used every year and fewer than 15% are recycled. In the US, 99% of polybags are sent to landfill.
Fewer than 15% of companies with plastic recycling goals are on track to meet them.
90% of retailers have made less sustainability progress than expected.
To help you fulfil your sustainability promises we developed Micro-Pak Closed Loop®; a program to collect, track and recycle plastic packaging waste from US retail stores. Our goal is to make recycling retail plastics simple.
The Micro-Pak Recycling Factory
By combining our Recycling Factory with Closed Loop, we offer practical solutions for brands to increase the recycled content of their packaging, and to reduce and recycle plastic waste from their retail stores.
