Protecting Our Environment

Our team is passionate about creating end markets for recycled fibers. We turn what would have been waste into premium products that are good for the environment, your business, products and customers.  For example, 1 square foot of an InfinityCore liner prevents 5 plastic water bottles from entering a landfill or waterway.  Protecting our waterways one plastic liner at a time!

Kitting Line

The Full Package of Sustainability

When it comes to packaging, we focus on the environment by sustaining your pay load. Spoiled or damaged products have a larger waste impact on our world than many companies realize. When we talk sustainability, we look at how our products were sourced, manufactured, and shipped. Finally, we look at how they perform during their useful life and how they can recovered after it is over.
