Precision AirConvey and Channeled Resources partner for waste disposal alternative

Converting equipment manufacturer Precision AirConvey (PAC) and pressure sensitive label rollstock supplier Channeled Resources Group (CRG) have formed a joint venture offering a sustainable solution to managing label matrix waste that aims to divert the cumbersome material from the waste stream and convert it to energy. 

Developed to help label converters, printers, mail houses and other label matrix waste generators eliminate disposal costs for landfilling and/or incineration, the joint venture features a turnkey approach that encompasses capturing the label matrix waste at the press and conveying it to a baler via an automated label waste handling system, collecting the baled material and hauling it to a nearby Greenwood Fuels waste-to-energy processing plant for use as feedstock. 

An environmentally friendly concept that also cuts costs, the joint venture is to operate as a viable operation without government subsidies by earning a fee from the waste generators for the service that reportedly saves substantially versus their recurring disposal fees. 

‘The logistics involved in collecting and hauling waste is usually what prevents recycling and waste to energy programs from being cost-efficient,’ said Precision AirConvey’s CEO Tom Embley. ‘Our systems corral the waste in one place and Channeled Resources knows how to streamline logistics on a global scale so we're very confident in the future of this partnership.’
