Atlantic’s Recycling Equipment and PCR
Atlantic has invested in recycling equipment to:
*Recapture used stretch film from our customers
*Transform used stretch film into high-quality post-consumer resin (PCR)
*Repurpose that PCR into new stretch film!

This creates a closed-loop system that keeps waste out of landfills and the environment. Atlantic will turn upwards of 10 million pounds of stretch film into high-quality resin!

Why is Stretch Film Necessary?
Stretch film is essential to B2B packaging. It allows manufacturers to get their products to retailers and distribution centers efficiently and without damage.

Loads of products that are improperly stretch wrapped before transportation often end up destroyed and unusable. Without stretch film people wouldn’t be able to get the products they need, and there’s nothing more unsustainable than wasting resources on products that cannot be used!

Atlantic works with its customers to make their stretch wrapping operations as efficient, inexpensive, and sustainable as possible. Our MUST Stretch Film Monitoring System and Quality Control Team ensure that stretch wrapping operations are optimally standardized and film application is consistent!

The fibre side streams of Metsä Board’s Tako paperboard mill are set to benefit nearby farms

Soilfood is processing the fibre-based side streams generated in the production of paperboard from manufacturer Metsä Board, into various soil improvement fibres for local farms. Soilfood has previously used these side streams from Metsä Board's board mills at Kemi and Äänekoski. Now the cooperation has been extended to the Tako mill, located in the centre of Tampere. Metsä Board's cooperation with Soilfood started with a research project initiated in 2015 by the Natural Resources Institute Finland. The study looked at how wood-based fibre sludge had the ability to reduce erosion and nutrients leaching from fields to water bodies. The large-scale use of side streams is part of a new circular economy approach, where raw materials are kept in use as long as possible and existing materials are re-used. The two companies are also working together to develop other new solutions for the beneficial use of existing production side streams. "Our goal is to have zero landfill waste from the processes of our paperboard mills after 2030. Currently, more than 99 per cent of our production side streams are used either as materials or energy.
