Sigman Stretch File and Sun Valley
Link Up for Environmental Push

Global recycling and environmental services company Sun Valley Worldwide and Sigma Stretch Film Corporation, the largest US and Canadian producer of industrial stretch film, have entered into a strategic relationship.

The programme, called NextLifeT, is designed to recycle, versus dispose of, used stretch film from the marketplace. This programme aims to recover millions of pounds of stretch film each year, which may have otherwise gone to landfill.
All stretch film produced in the US must either be recycled or disposed of. The NextLifeT programme provides the end users of stretch film with a convenient method of recycling stretch film and they are even compensated for their waste at market competitive prices.

Under the agreement, Sigma will market and promote the programme to its sales force and customers, while Sun Valley will purchase the materials and recycle them into resins to produce recycled products.
