PCR Film & Closed Loop Systems
18% PCR Performance Films
PCR Stretch Film from Closed Loop Recycling
Our proprietary high-performance PCR stretch film significantly reduces product damage, emission, and material usage.
CLOSED LOOP PCR FILM
57 gauge, 18% PCR stretch film produced from Atlantic Packaging’s in-house recycling system
APPLICATIONS
Ideal for 30″ & 20″ machine films as well as hand films
HIGH PERFORMANCE
Equivalent to 100% virgin film in containment, runnability, wind force, tear, puncture & ultimate stretch
CLOSED LOOP STRETCH FILM RECYCLING
Our in-house recycling infrastructure converts high-quality stretch film from our customers into premium PCR resin, which our partners use to produce new performance film with PCR content.
Since starting the operation, we have collected over 1.4 million lbs of stretch film and over 800,000 lbs of finished resin pellets.
WHAT IS PCR?
Post-consumer recycled (PCR) content is made from materials that have been used, collected, recycled, and repurposed into new products. Using PCR content helps reduce extraction of virgin resources, lower emissions, cut energy use, and minimize landfill waste.
WHY PCR?
Paper-based, biodegradable, compostable, or inflated PCR films often fail due to:
- Poor load containment leading to damage
- Excessive or unnecessary material use
- Inadequate recycling or composting infrastructure
MUST: Stretch Film Management System
This cutting-edge industrial loT monitoring platform is trusted by Fortune 100 brands to standardize and optimize the stretch wrapping process. Backed by a team of over 50 specialists, MUST empowers clients to monitor their wrappers, reduce costs, minimize product damage, and lessen environmental impact.

“We set out to take ownership of a lot of the stretch film we provide to our customers. We wanted to find an outlet to turn that film into PCR and make it back into stretch film because more and more of our customers are on the same kind of sustainability journey that Atlantic is on.”
