Recycling Hub
Partnerships For Circularity
At FPS Flexible Packaging Solutions, we remain committed to improving the sustainability of our products by making conscious and positive steps towards our Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) ambitions. We have taken another step towards a circular economy future by investing in a one-of-a-kind Recycling Hub in Romania with the sole purpose of recovering and reprocessing used FIBCs back into usable Post-Consumer Recycled (PCR) resin. This material is then used in the new production of FlexiGreen by FPS.
Why FPS invested in the
Recycling Hub
Circular Economy of FIBCs
FIBCs are made from PP and PE, which are fully recyclable. However, even today a significant portion ends up in landfill or incineration plants.
Over the last 30 years, we made investments to maximize internal recycling and have operated our REBU reconditioning business since 1993.
In our fully integrated Recycling Hub, we
recycle FIBCs by reprocessing used bags into
PCR resins. Then we produce FlexiGreen
that contains a significant percentage of PCR,
creating a genuine FIBC circular economy.
How the circular economy
of FIBCs work
Why the FPS recycling is unique and efficient
To recycle 1 ton of FIBCs
60,000 liters (60 tons) of water is needed
Recycling 1 ton of plastic material requires approximately 60,000 liters of water. However, at our recycling hub in Romania, we have our own water treatment and recycling system in place to enable water to be reused.
Performance of FlexiGreen by FPS made with PCR
We provide our customers a sustainable solution while still maintaining high-quality standards
We use recycled resin to produce the fabric for our FlexiGreen by FPS, which undergoes a rigorous quality control process. Our unique Recycling Plant allows us to create a recycled resin that is of high quality and purity, ensuring that our FlexiGreen has the same level of performance as FIBCs produced with virgin material
FlexiGreen FIBCs with 30% recycled material are compliant with ISO 21898 and offer the same benefits of reusability and recyclability as FIBCs made from virgin resin and comparable technical performance, without increasing the material content.
How our Circularity Hub contributes to your Sustainability Goals
At FPS, we take a practical approach to sustainability by focusing on measurable actions across the value chain.
Through our Recycling Facility, used FIBCs are recovered and reprocessed into Post-Consumer Recycled (PCR) resin, which is reintegrated into new production. This enables a circular material flow and helps reduce reliance on virgin plastics.
By incorporating recycled content, our FlexiGeen solutions support waste reduction and contribute to lowering greenhouse gas emissions compared to conventional alternatives.
We work closely with our customers to support their sustainability targets, providing transparent and responsible packaging solutions aligned with regulatory requirements and evolving market expectations.
FlexiGreen by FPS offers a practical way to reduce the environmental footprint of packaging while progressing towards emissions reduction goals.
How we support your PPWR journey
FlexiGreen by FPS enables the integration of Post-Consumer Recycled (PCR) contant, supporting compliance with upcoming targets while reducing reliance on virgin materials.
- REBU (reconditioning solutions) supports the development of reuse systems, helping extend product life and align with reuse criteria.
- Optimized product design supports recyclability requirements and helps ensure continued market access under evolving criteria.
- FPS compliant product portfolio and supply chain support the absence of restricted or hazardous substances in line with regulatory
- With FPS, compliance becomes an opportunity: enabling you to reduce risk, optimize costs, and transition towards more circular packaging solutions.
The EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) introduces binding requirements to reduce packaging waste and accelerate the transition to a circular eocnomy.
It sets clear obligations across the packaging value chain, including design for recycling, minimum recycled content, reuse systems, and labeling requirements.
At FPS, we support our customers in navigating these changes by providing compliant, future-ready packaging solutions that align with evolving regulatory expectations.
Our Circularity Hub combined with our recycling and reconditioning capabilities, enables customers to meet PPWR requirements while reducing environmental impact and long-terms costs.
Measuring What Matters:
Carbon Transparency
in Packaging
At FPS, we go beyond assumptions by providing data-driven insights into the environmental impact of our packaging solutions.
Through our Carbon Tracker Tool, we are able to calculate and report emissions across the value chain, supporting transparent and consistent carbon accounting aligned with recognized methodologies.
We calculate Product Carbon Footprints (PCF) at product level, enabling our customers to better understand the emissions associated with their packaging and identify reduction opportunities.
The approach supports more informed decision-making and helps our customers align with internal targets as well as evolving regulatory and reporting requirements.
