Recycled Plastic Resins are availablein different types of recycled plastics The proper term for 100% recycled plastic is post-consumer resin or “PCR” Available PCR plastics may be made of recycled HDPE, PET orPolypropylene After being sorted and checked, recycled plastic can take on a new life bybeing made into brand new containers Packaging products in containers made from PCR is an efficient way to makeyour cannabis business more sustainable, environmentally responsible, andgreen.
HOW IT WORKS:PCR HAS A COMPLETE SUSTAINABILITY CYCLE
ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITSOFPCR PRODUCTS Help your retailers meet important sustainability goals Products made from PCR reduce energy consumption by up to 90% during the manufacturingprocess PCR products use up to 75% less CO2 to produce than virgin HDPE (#2) resin PCR products meet tough sustainability measures By including a message on your label, MIPS and dispensaries have the opportunity to let the publicknow you are using 100% recycled packaging: an important claim for many consumers PCR containers are a great option to aide in the reduction of waste and to help re-use plasticcontainers that are being recycled on a daily basis
HIGHER STANDARD PACKAGING OFFERSTHE “R2” JARMANUFACTURED WITH“PCR” HDPE PLASTIC RESIN Higher Standard Packaging was the first packaging distributor tooffer an “eco friendly” packaging solution made from HDPE-PCRwhich was developed specifically for the cannabis industry in 2015 Available in several jar sizes utilizing a “push down and turn” childresistant cap Available in custom colors
Why consider “R2” PCR Jarsfor Cannabis Packaging? R2 Jars can be used in many food contact applications where HDPE resinshave previously been used R2 Jars meet standards for packaging food, supplements, and “herbal”medicines The U.S Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a “No ObjectionLetter” (NOL) for post consumer recycled (PCR) plasticsWhy is this significant?With the FDA “NOL” the resin is deemed equivalent to conventional HDPE plastics for food,beverages, drug and medical uses.
R2 JARS ARE MANUFACTUREDUSING SUSTAINABLE TECHNOLOGY Made primarily from curbside collected food packaging HDPE (#2) plastic(i.e. plastic milk jugs) Cleaned by a proprietary process utilizing heat and air without harmfulchemicals designed to rid the plastics of contaminants Recycled plastic is melted and formed into the final pellets that are usedfor the manufacturing of Higher Standard Packaging R2 jars R2 jars can be recycled up to seven times without compromising therecycling stream making them a truly an environmentally friendly solution.
R2 Jars are availablein awide variety of sizesfor Flower, Edibles, Concentrates and Topicals
