Use what we already have.
We help bring post-consumer recycled resin into selected food-contact packaging, reducing dependence on new resin where appropriate.
Better by design
The future is
worth protecting.
We believe packaging should protect what matters: the food inside, the people who rely on it, and the world we share.

THOUGHTFULLY MADE • RESPONSIBLY EVOLVINGOur commitment
Progress is a
practice, not a label.
There's no perfect material for every application. We look at performance, food safety, material use, and end-of-life realities together—then get to work on making better choices possible.
↗
Design out unnecessary material.
Right-sized formats, down-gauging, and thoughtfully engineered structures can do more with less material.
✳
Keep improving our operations.
Waste reduction, water conservation, and solvent recovery are part of how we approach responsible manufacturing.
Material innovation
30%PCR is more than
just a number.
Emerald helped introduce up to 30% food-contact post-consumer recycled resin to produce packaging—showing that thoughtful material innovation and performance can work together.
Available for qualifying applications. Recycled content and regulatory suitability depend on the specified film structure and use.
Better behind the scenes
How we make it
matters, too.
Our commitment goes beyond the materials that leave the factory. Our California Green Business certification reflects attention to how we operate, including resource use and waste prevention.

Continuous improvement in environmental practices
The right solution
Better materials.
Clearer decisions.
We work across different material approaches because the right answer depends on how a product is used, packed, transported, and discarded.
Food-contact PCR
Recycled-content options for approved applications, engineered around performance and food safety.
Recycle-ready designs
Structures designed to support available recycling pathways where compatible collection systems exist.
Renewable inputs
Exploring bio-based polymers and approaches that can reduce reliance on virgin fossil-based feedstocks.
Compostable options
Materials evaluated against relevant standards, for suitable uses and end-of-life conditions.
A note about environmental claims: The actual recyclability or compostability of a package depends on the finished structure, local collection systems, certification, and disposal conditions. We don't believe in one-size-fits-all claims.
Let's make progress together
