  • Production output in less time to reduce GHG emissions.
  • Focus on eliminating waste while minimizing carbon footprint.
  • Proprietary ink delivery system – Virtually eliminating ink waste and returns.
  • Expanded color gamut process printing – Precise registration and color accuracy resulting in significant reduction in ink and solvent usage.

Recyclable Stand-up Pouch Option
(Pre-made and printed laminate for FFS applications)

Recyclable Store Drop-off Label

Introducing the next exciting trend in flexible packaging, AccredoFlex® RP™ – the innovative Recyclable Stand-up Pouch by Accredo Asia Packaging! AccredoFlex® RP™ has the potential to be an industry changer’, moving from co-mingled, multi-material structures (e.g. PET/LDPE) whose end-of-life will be land-fill, to a single-source homogeneous substrate that CAN be recycled and so diverted from land-fill.

The market has a general and growing interest in ‘Sustainable Packaging Options’. Compared to a non-recyclable multi-material structure, AccredoFlex® RP™ recyclable stand-up pouch offers the benefits of recycling and provides decisive competitive advantages:

  • Realization of a company’s sustainability goals
  • Innovation and first mover
  • Differentiation from competitors
  • Source reduction
  • Potential for total system cost savings

AccredoFlex® RP™ recyclable stand-up pouch provides the consumer a more sustainable proposition of recyclability:

  • The same end-use convenience
  • Comparable functional performance**
  • Recyclable where PE film recycling stream is available (e.g. grocery and retail store drop-off)***
  • Approved by TREX Recyclers to be reprocessed into new products (e.g. composite lumber, park benches)
  • Waste diversion from land-fill

End-use Market Applications:

  • Frozen animal protein-based products (chicken, fish and shellfish).
  • Pre-cooked and frozen vegetables – more convenience when preparing meals.
  • Frozen fruit and fruit pulp – availability throughout the year.
  • Breakfast cereals, Rice, Sugar.
  • Pet food*.
  • Flour products.
  • Grains & legumes – lentils, peas, beans, corn, chickpeas, wheat.
  • Pie, cake, and bread mixes.
  • Laundry and dishwashing refill packs.


* The How2Recycle Label is a project of GreenBlue’s Sustainable Packaging Coalition® (SPC).
** Check barrier requirements that are suitable for PE SUP applications.

Renewable Option

Using renewably-sourced resin from sugar-cane feedstock (as opposed to hydrocarbon-based feedstock), Accredo Asia has successfully pioneered sustainably produced packaging with a highly renewable content. Third-party certified in accordance with ASTM D6866.

USDA Certified Biobased Product

  • Processing: Drop-in replacement – Line speed not compromised
  • Performance: Similar to hydrocarbon-based feedstock.

Producing packaging made from carbon-neutral biobased renewable feedstock:

  • reduces carbon footprint and GHG emissions;
  • reduces the impact of global warming and climate change;
  • improves Life Cycle Assessment criteria;
  • aligns the product with packaging made in a “sustainable” way.
  • Naturally-based sustainable packaging is sure to find support with the American consumer who will appreciate the link with conservation of materials and resources.

PACKAGING FROM NATURE…IT’S A NATURAL!SM

Compostable or “Organic Recycling”

  • Accredo Asia was the first company globally to manufacture a zippered stand-up pouch made from components certified compostable in accordance with ASTM 6400 standards for compostability in industrial composting facilities.
  • New developments in compostable film technology enable us to produce compostable packaging that achieves the highest moisture and gas barriers:
    • MVTR – 0.15 gm/645.16 cm²/day
    • OTR – 0.03 cc/645.16 cm²/day
