Eastar™ 6763 Renew copolyester from Eastman is a key component in Medipack’s new MEDPETG 6763 RN thermoforming film. Using Eastar 6763 Renew allows the company to offer packaging that performs like its legacy wrap but with a lower environmental footprint.
Medipack has long used Eastar 6763 as part of its production process but wanted to offer a more sustainable option. The company turned to Eastar 6763 Renew because it’s made with up to 50% certified recycled content* from hard-to-recycle waste materials processed through Eastman molecular recycling. This means waste that would otherwise have gone to landfills is used to make a new Medipack product, reducing the use of virgin feedstocks and preserving natural resources.
The result is a drop-in replacement that performs as well as traditional products with a reduced carbon footprint and fewer items going to the waste stream. Medipack swapped Eastar 6763 in without changing its manufacturing process or acquiring additional medical certifications, both of which can be long and costly processes.
