UFlex to showcase sustainable packaging innovations at GCPRS 2025

UFlex will showcase its latest innovations at the Global Conclave on Plastics Recycling and Sustainability (GCPRS) 2025, scheduled to be held on 17-20 June 2025, at Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi. 

UFlex will present innovative solutions from its packaging films and engineering businesses, aimed at making packaging materials more sustainable and valuable.
 
The packaging films business will present its breakthrough single-pellet solution, which integrates 30% or more recycled PET (rPET) with virgin PET (vPET) to produce food-grade packaging. This high-clarity, high-strength solution significantly reduces acetaldehyde levels and is fully compatible with existing PET lines — enabling seamless adoption without infrastructure upgrades. The solution has received USFDA approval, permitting its use in direct food contact applications, and positions UFlex as the only Indian flexible packaging company with food-grade recycling certifications across PET, PE, and PP. This milestone reinforces the company’s global leadership in sustainable packaging and offers brands a certified, circular alternative without compromising on safety or performance.

In parallel, the engineering business will present a live demonstration of ReLAM 50, a decentralised recycling system designed to process up to 50-kg of mixed flexible waste per hour. Tailored for start-ups, rural enterprises, local recycling units, and waste management companies, ReLAM 50 transforms difficult-to-recycle mixed flexible waste into recycled granules or panels. These granules can be repurposed to make household and other plastic products using injection moulding, plastic lumber, tiles, and other non-critical applications — offering a viable route to reuse for a wide range of end uses. Its compact capacity and flexibility also make it suitable for NGOs, municipalities, and industrial recycling plants, driving grassroot-level participation in the circular economy.
