The joint venture is to operate without government subsidies, with fees paid by the waste generators for the service, which the two companies say will cost substantially less than the recurring disposal fees. Greenwood says it plans to open more facilities in North America and abroad. The two companies' turnkey approach to the scrap encompasses capturing the label matrix waste at the press and conveying it to a baler via an automated label waste handling system, collecting the baled material and hauling it to Greenwood Fuels' (Green Bay, WI) waste-to-energy processing plant for use as feedstock. PAC (Newark, DE) and the Channeled Resources Group (Chicago, IL) say the new venture will help label converters, printers, mail houses and other label matrix waste generators eliminate the disposal costs for landfilling and/or incineration of label scrap.

Plastic film converting equipment manufacturer Precision AirConvey (PAC) and pressure sensitive label rollstock supplier Channeled Resources Group have formed a joint venture offering a service to companies that generate label matrix waste, diverting this scrap away from the waste stream and to energy conversion facilities.Īn automated system from Precision AirConvey captures label waste and conveys it to a baler for collection and transport to a waste-to-energy facility.
