Thrive Line

High-Performance Recyclable

This sustainable packaging film is recyclable with a store drop-off label in the How2Recycle program. It’s a high-performance package with excellent optical properties, high stiffness, and puncture resistance. It also has a strong oxygen, moisture, and grease barrier, allowing it to keep products fresh for a long period of time.

25% Recycled Content High-Performance Recyclable

This type of packaging is also recyclable with a store drop-off label in the How2Recycle program, making it a highly desirable option that contributes to the circular economy. This high-performance package is made with 25% recycled content; it provides high stiffness and puncture resistance, along with a strong barrier against oxygen, moisture, and grease.

30% Recycled Content

Made with 30% recycled content, these bags provide little to no difference in performance. They’re easily implemented into workflows, and no testing or certifications are required.

Thrive Compostable

Made from annually renewable plant-based materials, these packages meet ASTM-D6400 testing standards for BPI certification.

Compostable Materials

EarthFirst PLA Made with Ingeo

This type of packaging is made from annually renewable plant resources. It generates just 0.3kg of carbon dioxide per kg of polymer produced. For every 100 pounds of PLA used, we recover almost 14 gallons of gas, offset car emissions for 6+ weeks, and power a 100-watt bulb for eight months.

When composted at a commercial composting facility, it biodegrades in a maximum of 44 days. At the same time, it has excellent shelf life under recommended conditions (-70° to 125°F in supported applications). This packaging is also certified to meet both ASTM D6400 (USA) and EN 13432 (EU) standards.

Tipa

Tipa is a high-transparency film with a similar look and feel to conventional plastic. It has mechanical properties similar to polyethylene and polypropylene, along with excellent sealing properties.

NatureFlex

This material is made from renewable wood pulp and typically degrades within 12 weeks when processed at a commercial composting facility. It’s also suitable for home and industrial composting and is proven to biodegrade in aqueous environments. With a naturally high gas barrier, good dead-fold properties for twist or fold end-uses, and no static, it’s great for a wide variety of applications. Like many of our other products, it’s certified to meet both ASTM D6400 (USA) and EN 13432 (EU) standards.

Kraft Paper Post Consumer Recyclable

Our Kraft paper is made from 100% post consumer recycled content. It’s available in sheets, bags, and rolls.

Recyclable Materials

Low-Density Polyethylene

Our team offers low-density polyethylene (LDPE), which can be recycled again and again. It’s resistant to impact, moisture, and chemicals, making it a popular choice for many applications.

High-Density Polyethylene

We also offer high-density polyethylene (HDPE), another highly popular choice. It’s easily recyclable, which helps keep non-biodegradable waste out of landfills. It also has a large strength-to-density ratio and great corrosion resistance.
