Recently, packaging supplier Aripack announced a partnership with NEO Plastics, a new plastics company that offers new options for a zero-pollution sustainable development strategy to address the accumulation of plastics in landfills for many years. NEO Plastics' plastic packaging additives are designed to convert waste from landfills into useful biogas, ultimately producing clean energy that is available.
According to the Environmental Protection Agency: 'Landfill gas (LFG) is a natural by-product of the decomposition of organic matter in landfills. LFG consists of approximately 50% methane, 50% carbon dioxide and a small amount of non-methane organic compounds.
As LFGs have become increasingly influential in the energy industry, such as the Landfill Methane Use Promotion Program (LMOP), NEO Plastics supports the program by developing the residual value of waste plastics. By accelerating natural anaerobic landfills Process, organic additives will release the energy stored in the plastic, provide available biogas to the waste treatment facility, collect and convert these biogas into clean, sustainable energy. As part of the Waste Energy (WTE) strategy, NEO Plastics is seeking A sustainable packaging solution offers a new option to protect the environment.
NEO Plastics launched an organic additive at the end of 2017, which was tested according to the American Society for Testing and Materials.
Aripack has been providing customized flexible and rigid packaging materials for companies and industries in North America, including Wise, Godiva, Lesser Evil, Ricola, Fruit Bliss, Mayorga Organics Coffee and other food and beverage companies.

We have a small social media and a brand guide to solve the NEO trademark problem on the packaging. All this It is to let people know that NEO is a new option that can turn waste into energy and make people believe in this innovative solution.
