Soft Plastic
Specialized soft plastic waste management services addressing one of the most challenging waste streams in the recycling industry. Crown Waste Solutions provides comprehensive collection and processing solutions for soft plastic materials that require advanced recovery technologies.
Advanced Soft Plastic Management
Soft plastic waste represents one of the most complex challenges in modern waste management due to its lightweight nature, contamination issues, and limited recycling infrastructure. At Crown Waste Solutions, we understand the unique difficulties posed by soft plastic materials and provide specialized collection and processing solutions.
Our soft plastic service encompasses plastic bags, wrapping materials, packaging films, and other flexible plastic products that cannot be processed through conventional recycling streams. We work with advanced processing facilities that utilize innovative technologies to convert soft plastics into valuable secondary materials and energy recovery applications.
We provide dedicated collection containers and customized scheduling to ensure efficient management of soft plastic waste streams. Our service includes proper segregation, contamination control, and delivery to specialized processing facilities equipped with the technology needed to handle these challenging materials effectively.
Soft Plastic Materials
Common soft plastic types that require specialized processing and management

Packaging Films
Shrink wrap, bubble wrap, and protective packaging materials used in shipping and product protection that require specialized collection and processing methods.
Food Packaging
Flexible food containers, snack packets, and multi-layer packaging that often contains contamination and requires advanced cleaning technologies.
Industrial Films
Pallet wrap, construction sheeting, and industrial packaging materials generated by manufacturing and distribution operations.
Soft Plastic Challenges
Understanding the unique difficulties in soft plastic waste management
Processing Difficulties
Soft plastics jam conventional recycling machinery and require specialized equipment designed to handle lightweight, flexible materials without causing system failures.
Contamination Issues
Food residues, adhesives, and mixed materials often contaminate soft plastics, requiring advanced cleaning and separation technologies before processing.
Limited Infrastructure
Fewer facilities are equipped to process soft plastics compared to rigid plastics, requiring specialized partnerships and longer-distance transport to processing facilities.
