Charter Next Generation (CNG), a leader in specialty films and material science solutions, is officially set to unveil a whole new portfolio of solutions at the Pack Expo 2024, solutions that will address key applications in the food, consumer goods, industrial, and healthcare markets.
According to certain reports, CNG’s focus during this event will be largely upon innovations that can extend the shelf life of fresh food, protect products across supply chains, safeguard homes, improve patient safety, and contribute to environmental conservation.
Talk about the same on a slightly deeper level, we begin from the company’s plan to launch a carbon-neutral poly mailer, which it developed on the back of a partnership with Aircarbon®, a leader in sustainable packaging solutions. Basically, the stated mailer will leverage a biomaterial derived from greenhouse gases (GHG) to cut down rather significantly on the carbon footprint of packaging, while simultaneously maintaining exceptional performance.
Next up, CNG will introduce its integration of Sway technology. This integration, in essence, can be expected transform seaweed into a biodegradable and compostable polymer. More on that would reveal how it will bank upon seaweed’s natural properties to create packaging solutions capable of breaking down easily so to offer a biobased alternative against traditional plastics.
All in all, as Sway materials are highly versatile, with applications spanning industries like fashion, home goods, cosmetics, food packaging, and more, a partnership with the company will make it possible for CNG to become one of the clear leaders in sustainable packaging. This, in turn, will allow it to better support the future of regenerative and circular materials.
Moving on, CNG will also feature several finished materials during the expo. These materials, on their part, are understood to be made from the company’s prequalified films under the How2Recycle program. Once on the display, the stated component will relay high-performance, recycle-ready barrier formats ideal for various applications. Such an effort also delivers a rather interesting follow-up to CNG’s wider ambition of advancing recyclability and maintaining superior performance and versatility across multiple industries.
For instance, the company’s specialty films are already being used to keep food ingredients fresher for longer, ensuring nutritious, delicious meals reach consumers worldwide. They also help meet the evolving needs of today’s food industry in the context of sustainability, quality, and innovation.
Then, we have the consumer goods space, where CNG protects products throughout the supply chain, and at the same time, enables them to arrive in pristine condition, as well as helps customers strengthen their consumer relationships with solutions that meet the highest standards.
Next up, there is the industrial sector that deploys CNG’s industrial films against demanding applications to conceive operational efficiency and reduce environmental impact. Finally, we must acknowledge how the healthcare industry benefits from CNG’s high-performance materials that prioritize product integrity across complex supply chains.
Founded in 1998, CNG’s rise up the ranks stems from its track record in addressing a broad range of global challenges, such as food preservation, waste reduction, energy efficiency, wage equity, and climate change. An idea about the company’s stature as a leading specialty films and material science solutions provider can be had once you consider it currently runs 16 different manufacturing facilities, spread all across US.
