Cortec\u00ae Corporation is pleased to announce the launch of its new organics recycling program at Cortec\u00ae global headquarters near Saint Paul, Minnesota! The program will collect food and paper waste that is usually thrown into the facility\u2019s garbage and turn it into compost instead. An especially exciting feature of this new program is the opportunity to make use of Eco Film\u00ae commercially compostable bags manufactured at Cortec\u2019s own film extrusion plant in Cambridge, Minnesota.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cortec\u00ae launched its organics recycling this year after being awarded a grant from Ramsey County to help with initial setup. This involved installing a new dumpster mezzanine area, purchasing new composting bins, training employees, and paying for disposal hauling services and compostable products (e.g., cups, plates, utensils, etc.) for the first six months. The organic waste will be collected in Eco Film\u00ae Bags lining bins throughout Cortec\u2019s facility and then sent to an industrial composting site in Rosemount, Minnesota, to be converted into soil amendments for local communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Corey Cremers, Senior Environmental Specialist at Cortec\u00ae Corporation, has spearheaded this and many other environmental initiatives at Cortec\u00ae. He commented, \u201cParticipating in the organics recycling program is an important step in reducing our environmental impact here at Cortec\u00ae. . . . Instead of sending waste materials to landfills we can migrate the waste to a beneficial resource like compost which can be used by the local community. It is cool to see all facets of employees from the office to the production floor participating in the program and adding value to our environmental management system.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As mentioned, a particularly special feature of this program is the chance for Cortec\u00ae to put its own Eco Film\u00ae Bags<\/a> to good use. Eco Film\u00ae Bags are certified compostable under BPI certificate #890974 for disposal in a commercial composting facility and are therefore perfect for use as liners in Cortec\u2019s organics collection bins. In the past, Cortec\u00ae has sourced Eco Film\u00ae Bags to help other organizations such as the Minnesota Zoo launch or explore their organics composting programs, so it gives Cortec\u00ae special satisfaction to finally be able to use this commercially compostable film in its own organics recycling program at Cortec\u00ae headquarters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a chemical manufacturing company, Cortec\u00ae has shown exceptional leadership in launching many \u201cgreen\u201d initiatives over the years. These include the R&D of many commercially compostable films and a wide range of USDA Certified Biobased Products for rust prevention. Even as Cortec\u00ae celebrates its new organics recycling program, the company continues to look for additional ways to lower its environmental impact and that of product end users by a special focus on \u201cgreen\u201d chemistry initiatives that promote a \u201ccircular\u201d economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First VCI recycling program in Europe<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Cortec\u2019s European plant EcoCortec, also implemented a European-wide initiative to collect and recycle used VCI films and bags which allows their customers to send their used film back to the plant. This was the first recycling recycling program of this type implemented in Europe. Within the \u201cPlastic Recycling Project,\u201d EcoCortec\u2019s customers send their waste material back to the Croatian plant, where it is then completely recycled and used for manufacturing a new product. This creates a win-win-win situation for customers, the manufacturer and the environment, encourages environmental responsibility and reduces carbon footprint in the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
