How it all started...

In various industries, the importance of multi-layered products with strong oxygen barrier characteristics cannot be overstated. Unfortunately, these products are typically non-recyclable because of their inherent structural complexity. Recognizing this challenge, we embarked on a mission to find a solution.

In response to this widespread issue, Environment and Climate Change Canada, in partnership with Innovative Solutions Canada, launched a challenge to seek solutions for mitigating the environmental impact of food packaging plastic waste. GrinLoop was not only chosen as the preferred solution but also emerged as the nationwide winner in addressing this critical problem.

FAQ

Can I integrate GrinLoop into my existing multilayer line without modifications?

No modifications to your machinery are required to use GrinLoop. One of its major advantages is its compatibility with existing equipment. While some adjustments to processing parameters may be needed for optimal performance, our team will guide you through this during initial trials.

We prioritize the safety of your machinery and have extensive experience with lines ranging from 3 to 9 layers. Our goal is to ensure smooth integration and operation for you.

What are the limitations of using GrinLoop in creating sustainable products?

GrinLoop stands out from other barrier resins because it can be incorporated up to 30% in recyclable product structures. This is a unique advantage not seen with other resins. As a result, designers have greater flexibility and creativity in their product designs.

Where is Grinloop made currently and is it available for commercial purchase?

Grinloop is made in Canada currently and the expansions are planned for EU production in 2024.

And Yes, GrinLoop is now commercially available.

As a European company, can we access GrinLoop?

Absolutely! GrinLoop ships worldwide.

How is the purging process for GrinLoop, and is a special purge required after trials? How easily can it be processed?

GrinLoop is likely one of the smoothest barrier resins you'll process. Before introducing GrinLoop, simply purge out any previous resins from the extruder. After your run, a quick clean with LDPE will efficiently clear your extruder.

Is GrinLoop exclusively for high barrier applications?

No, GrinLoop is versatile and can be used for a range of barrier requirements (depending on the grade), from high to medium. Its barrier properties vary from 0.03 to 1.9 cc.20micron/100in2.day.atm
