Custom flexible film packaging engineered from Olmsted Falls, Ohio
Sustainability by design

Smarter film structures can protect products while reducing waste.

PKG’s sustainability mindset is not an afterthought. It is built into how film recipes are engineered, controlled, produced and reused wherever the application allows. Better packaging should reduce excess without creating performance risk.

Less waste. Better control.

Sustainability starts with engineering discipline.

A film that is overbuilt wastes material. A film that is underbuilt fails in use. PKG aims for the productive middle: efficient structures with the right performance profile for the product, process and distribution environment.

Custom recipes to reduce wasteFilm can be engineered around actual needs instead of defaulting to excessive thickness or unnecessary material.
Tight gauge controlPrecise control supports consistency, material efficiency and fewer rejected rolls or line disruptions.
Recycled and biodegradable optionsPKG can evaluate recycled materials and biodegradable resin options where they fit the application and performance goals.

Operational sustainability

Waste reduction is most powerful when it is built into production.

PKG uses practical, plant-level sustainability practices that support customers without turning packaging decisions into empty marketing claims.

Engineer efficiently

Use custom layer structures, resin selection and gauge targets to reduce unnecessary material while preserving performance.

Control the process

High-output machinery, monitoring and control systems help reduce energy waste, variation and production inefficiency.

Recover material

On-site repelletizing supports reuse of suitable internal material streams and reduces avoidable manufacturing waste.

Improve over time

Ongoing evaluation helps customers refine film choices as equipment, products, sustainability targets and regulations evolve.

Sustainability FAQs

Practical answers for responsible packaging decisions.

The most responsible package is the one that performs correctly with the least practical waste.

PKG’s sustainability approach centers on custom film engineering, waste reduction, tight gauge control, efficient production, recycled materials where applicable and on-site repelletizing.

Yes. Multi-layer thinking, custom resin blends and gauge control can help reduce unnecessary material use while maintaining the performance the package requires.

PKG can evaluate biodegradable resins and recycled materials where they fit the application, performance requirements and customer objectives.
