The Challenge

Hospitality operators and suppliers are under growing pressure from multiple directions:

  • Brand and customer expectations around sustainability
  • Growing scrutiny of packaging choices and waste practices
  • The need to maintain strict food safety and hygiene standards
  • Tight margins that leave little room for cost increases

At the same time, many “sustainable” packaging options either:

  • Aren’t suitable for back-of-house use
  • Create confusion around end-of-life outcomes
  • Or introduce higher costs without clear benefits
  • The challenge isn’t intent — it’s finding solutions that work operationally and commercially.

Without practical, verified alternatives, hospitality businesses risk brand exposure, procurement pushback, or introducing unnecessary compliance risk.

PCR Platform

ReCree8® PCR solutions for hospitality operations

ReCree8® is thinkpac’s post-consumer recycled resin platform, produced from 100% recycled post-consumer soft plastic waste and independently verified under a GECA licence.

In food service and hospitality environments, ReCree8® is well suited to applications such as:

  • Back-of-house bin liners and waste bags
  • Printed bin liners with sustainability messaging
  • Broad range of packaging used across kitchens, prep areas, and facilities

These solutions allow hospitality operators to demonstrate progress on sustainability without introducing operational or compliance risk. Where food-contact requirements apply, we remain pragmatic — using virgin materials where necessary and PCR alternatives where appropriate.
