TruRenu® Store Drop-Off Recyclable Film
Through the Sustainable Packaging Coalition® How2Recycle® label program, Glenroy offers store drop-off recyclable film laminations available in multiple packaging formats, including stand-up pouch options. Key features include:
- Excellent moisture barrier in a multilayer structure

Collected material is recycled into end applications, including composite lumber and plastic shopping bags, supporting the circular economy and reducing landfill waste.
How the How2Recycle® Label Program Works
Each version of our store drop-off recyclable pouch from the TruRenu® sustainable flexible packaging portfolio meets the requirements for the How2Recycle® store drop-off program*. Follow these four easy steps to complete the recycling process.
- Make sure the pouch is empty
- Shake out any loose crumbs or food residue
- Remove any remaining liquid
- Drop off at your participating local store
*Brands interested in using TruRenu® recyclable pouches will need to become members of the How2Recycle® program to use the label on their custom-printed packaging.
Sustainable Flexible Packaging vs. Rigid Packaging
Switching from rigid packaging to sustainable flexible packaging delivers measurable benefits across the entire product life cycle. Flexible packaging solutions offer a superior product-to-package ratio, meaning less material is used to protect more product. This resource efficiency translates into a reduced carbon footprint, lower plastic usage, and less food waste due to better barrier protection and shelf life extension.
Compared to rigid packaging and single-use plastics, flexible films require less energy to produce, fewer trucks to transport, and generate significantly less plastic waste. For brand owners looking to align with sustainability initiatives, recyclable flexible packaging is one of the most practical paths forward.
