Catalyzing the Circular Economy of Plastics
Economy of Plastics

OUR COMMITMENT is to foster premium re-use of plastic waste to reduce carbon emissions and to divert plastics destined for landfills or incineration into recycled applications supporting a circular economy of plastics.

  • Context

    As global issues like pollution, waste, biodiversity loss, and climate change grow more pressing, it is essential to move towards a circular economy. A circular economy encourages redesigning products so that they do not end up in waste stream, utilizing goods and materials for as long as possible, and recycling materials from end-of-life products back into the economy to close the loop between extractions, manufacture, and disposal.

  • Management Approach

    INDEVCO Flexible Packaging and Napco National CJSC Flexible Packaging divisions have actively pushed for a circular economy of plastics as part of their manufacturer and supplier responsibility to address plastic waste, while creating green revenue streams from recycling plastic waste. INDEVCO companies provide post-industrial plastic collection, recycling, and regeneration. INDEVCO also offers waste-to-energy technologies.
