Transco's Achievements
Closed Loop Recycling Program
At Transco we value our sustainable philosophy of reduce/reuse/recycle. We work in partnership with our customers to develop and institute recycling systems so that our products are ultimately reprocessed and manufactured back into the same product. A process flow can be illustrated as:
Step 1 – Capturing of clean used film or bags. The product is baled and gathered in high volume processing distribution centers
Step 2 – The items are then grinded and reprocessed for recycling using specialized equipment directly at the DCs or transported to specialized centers
Step 3 – The recycled materials are transported to Transco’s manufacturing facilities
Step 4 – The material is measured and accurately added into the production process of the very same unique customer product
This process enables us to use very high levels of traceable post-consumer recycled content in our products and offers our customers a customized real closed loop recycling program that lowers costs and creates a sustainable product.
Reverse Process Specific Product Engineering
At the core of Transco’s long history is process manufacturing. We do not replicate and mimic customer specifications but rather engineer products from the ground up to best fit the required applications efficiencies, quality. For example, working with a large media publication company and their 3.5 million weekly door distribution network, Transco developed a more sustainable, thinner and cost effective bag plus which resulted in increased productivity. These achievements were realized by:
• On-site real time audit and measurements
• Detailed measured analysis of current products
• Review of customer requirements and objectives
• Engineered product formulations to meet criteria
• Product sampling with lab and on-site testing
• Approval and adaptation of new specifications
• Mass manufacturing and delivery
