HEXIS has unveiled details of a new solution for recovering its self-adhesive film and liners, which it calls “a new step towards a more sustainable industry.”
“This new programme covers the recovery of Kraft liners, Kraft PE liners and PVC films (coloured, printed or laminated) from converting, weeding, removal and other scraps, and is being implemented in the network of partners and clients in France,” HEXIS said.
There’s no word yet on when or whether the programme – announced at last month’s FESPA France General Assembly - will be extended worldwide.
“This programme is being implemented across the network of partners and clients in France. Our QHSE team has established a partnership with three organisations that facilitate the industrial reuse of materials," said a Hexis press release.
“In the same way that we launched the roll end piece recovery programme last year, our current and future customers such as converters, printers and processors can now embark on this fantastic adventure at our side.
"Every year more than 400,000 tonnes of paper liner are consumed in Europe, and in France alone almost 2 million tonnes of PVC.
“Making both financial and ecological savings, our collection programme offers new possibilities for recycling in a sustainable way. With HEXIS, it becomes simple to recycle your Kraft or PE liner waste and your PVC film scrap.
“The objective of this approach is to limit the environmental impact of our operations. We are looking to reduce waste at source, while seeking innovative solutions to increase recycling, with the aim of taking sustainable action to reduce the amount of waste we produce.
“Our CSR policy on waste recycling is centred primarily on 4 strategic lines:
- Constantly reduce released atmospheric emissions
- Reduce the amount of waste we generate while prioritising the recycling of materials
- Propose solutions to optimise the end-of-life of our products
- Reduce our energy impact by using the right and sufficient amount of energy
“This new step represents a major advance for our profession on the subject of reclaiming and recycling of these materials.”
