How it all started...

A Nation-wide challenge was addressed!

The demand for multi-layered products with strong oxygen barrier properties is essential across numerous industries. However, the complexity of these structures has made them traditionally non-recyclable, posing significant environmental challenges.

Recognizing this issue, we embarked on a mission to develop a sustainable solution. Our journey took a pivotal turn when Environment and Climate Change Canada, in collaboration with Innovative Solutions Canada, initiated a challenge aimed at reducing the environmental impact of food packaging waste. GrinLoop, our innovative approach, was not only chosen as the preferred solution but also emerged as the nationwide winner, affirming our commitment to tackling this critical issue.

FAQ

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

Yes, one of its major advantages is its compatibility with existing equipment. While some adjustments to processing parameters may be needed for optimal performance, majority of times, no change is required in the existing lines. Our team will guide you through this during initial trials.

What are the "Recyclability" 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 2025.

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 purge with LDPE will quickly clean up your extruder.

Is GrinLoop exclusively for Medium barrier applications?

No, GrinLoop is versatile and can be used for a range of barrier requirements (depending on the grade), from high to medium.
