Real Leaders Impact Awards

Six-pack ring carriers are just one way we’re supporting the circular economy WE’RE KEEPING IT TOGETHER! www.avaicg.com Avangard Innovative is a leader in converting post-consumer plastic film into reusable products. A partnership with Hi-Cone, a leading supplier of packaging solutions for global beer and soft drink manufacturers, has seen Avangard Innovative CEO, Rick Perez, take the lead on reducing plastic waste. With Avangard Innovative’s help, Hi- Cone recently introduced RingCycles TM , a ring carrier that is made from +50 percent post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastic, reducing the use of new plastic by more than half. PCR production uses 90 percent less non-renewable energy, 83 percent less water consumption, emits 75 percent less greenhouse gases, and creates 43 percent less solid waste when compared to virgin material production. That’s better for the environment. Hi-Cone’s new ring carrier provides a visual cue to consumers that they are buying a product that is environmentally friendly and supports recycling. www.hi-cone.com/ringcycles Join Rick Perez on Linkedin and do the #RecycleChallenge
