PAC, CRG Offer Green Alternative for Matrix Waste

NEWARK, Del.—Converting equipment manufacturer Precision AirConvey (PAC), located in Newark, Del., and pressure-sensitive label rollstock supplier Channeled Resources Group (Chicago, Ill.) have formed a joint venture offering a comprehensive, sustainable solution to managing label matrix waste that aims to divert the cumbersome material from the waste stream and convert it to energy. Developed to help label converters, printers, mail houses, and other label matrix waste generators eliminate disposal costs for landfilling and/or incineration, the joint venture features a turnkey approach that encompasses capturing the label matrix waste at the press and conveying it to a baler via an automated label waste handling system, collecting the baled material, and hauling it to a nearby Greenwood Fuels waste to energy processing plant for use as feedstock.
