Sustainable  Alternative to Film

CHICAGO—GPA introduced the latest addition to its product line: InCycle™ Expanded PET, a sustainable alternative to traditional films and synthetics.

Manufactured from recycled water bottles (25 to 50 percent post-consumer recycled PET), InCycle uses as little as one-fifth the raw materials of traditional synthetic films and weighs up to 80 percent less than other film products, offering significant savings on freight and shipping costs. It qualifies as a #1 recyclable plastic, which is the most common and easiest type of plastic to recycle.
