Sarkis Dagher, Vice President of Market Development at Napco National, explains, "Designing packaging to consume less raw materials means generating less packaging waste by both the food manufacturer and the end consumer. We're downgauging specific applications, such as aluminum in bouillon wrap and peel foil lidding by up to 42% and plain and metallized OPP from 11% to 33% - all with superior performance and positive environmental impact." Collecting & Recycling Industrial Films In addition, Napco National partners with beverage manufacturer customers to collect and recycle post-industrial stretch and shrink film. These films are regenerated into recycled resins for other applications at the company's waste recycling and reprocessing center in Jeddah. Napco National intends to continue expanding its waste collection and recycling operations in the Kingdom.
