Sustainability at UFlex

Sustainability at UFlex Sustainability Initiatives Towards Green Packaging UFLEX 'A part of your daily life' Converting its Waste Plastic into Fuel with UFlex' Pyrolysis Plant UFlex commissioned its Pyrolysis Plant at its Noida facility in October 2018, earning it the distinction of first such plant in North India. Pyrolysis is a process of chemically decomposing organic materials at elevated temperatures in the absence of oxygen. The Pyrolysis plants' reactors can convert 6 tonnes of discarded waste material that's generated every day from printing, unused trim, laminates, tubes and other unprocessed material into three forms of fuel- liquid fuel, hydrocarbon gas and carbon black- further utilized in manufacturing processes. Carbon black powder is cooled and packed into bags for further use as a solid fuel. Mixture of pyrolysis oil vapour and hydrocarbon gas exits the pyrolysis reactor and is subjected to fractional condensation to get separate fractions of hydrocarbon gas; pyrolysis wax; and pyrolysis oil. Hydrocarbon gas is used in pyrolysis Hot Air Generator and energy generated is fed to the pyrolysis reactor for heating the plastic waste. Pyrolysis Oil or Light Distillate Oil is used as a liquid fuel in industrial boilers or Diesel Engines to produce electricity. ✰ Asclepius™ Green Packaging Film by UFlex to Create a Circular Economy FlexFilm's Asclepius™ film technology is a family of plain, treated, coated, high barrier and heat-sealable BOPET films based on upto 100% Post consumer waste recycled (PCR) PET Resin. Flex Films has been offering an entire range of PCR grade film having upto 100% post-consumer recycled PET content under the brand name Asclepius TM. These PCR film derived from post-consumer PET bottle waste have the same attributes as its twin substrate made out of fossil fuel are used and re-used for multiple applications like packaging and label material, creating a loop economy.This film represents a 75% reduction in carbon footprint and comes with enhanced sustainability and significantly lower net energy requirement for production when compared to virgin BOPET grades Asclepius TM is the only upto 100% PCR BOPET film that has received the prestigious 'Kingfisher' Certification from SCS Global Services. This certification corroborates to its customers and to the flexible films market, the integrity of its supply chain and claims regarding PCR based film technology. Customers have started using these films in a range of packaging and labelling applications in order to help consumer brands achieve sustainability goals faster.
