The Recyplast®50 is a pure innovation with a guiding principle: sustainable development.
In 2016, the Barbier Group launched Recyplast 20. In 2018, the Group launched Recyplast 50. This label guarantees the incorporation of 50% post-consumer recycled raw material into a whole range of products (shrink film and hood, bottom and top sheets).
3 key points:
1) Ecodesign, from a linear economy to a circular economy. The Barbier Group produces a film, commercializes it so that it has a first use, collects waste (household, industrial or agricultural), recycles it and uses this new recycled raw material for the new products fabrication.
2) Reduction of the carbon footprint with the increasing use of second-life materials (recycled raw materials).
3) Material independence and securing part of its supplies.
Product benefits:
- Recyplast® 50 is the only film to use LDPE granules obtained from the used plastic films regeneration of post-use origin.
