Manufacturer of flexible and specialty rigid packaging helps to fuel recycling efforts.
Residents of James City County, Va., and three other Virginia municipalities will join the ranks of other progressive counties that are making accommodations for residents to include rigid plastics in their curbside pickup for recycling. Starting in July 2014, residents will be able to include plastics like yogurt cups and grocery store clam shells, among other plastic containers in their recycling bins.
VP and general manager of Printpack Rigid, Jamie Clark has been very passionate about the sustainability of rigid plastics. One of Printpack’s U.S.-based rigid plants is located within James City County, Va., the county in which Jamie also lives. As an officer of the Society of the Plastics Industry (SPI) and the chairman of the affiliated Rigid Plastics Packaging Group (RPPG), Jamie helped support a study on rigid plastics recovery within the county.
