Our ISCC+ certified zip closure systems
Working together with responsible industry partners ensures the appropriate reuse of plastic waste during production of our zip closure profiles.
This ISCC+ certification allows us to guarantee the sustainability of the materials used throughout the value chain and positions us as being a key player in the circular economy.
Our PE single and multi-hook zip ranges, made from chemically recycled plastic and manufactured in our BRCGS-certified facilities, conserves its’ food contact compliance. The reuse of polyethylene plastic waste leads to a reduced carbon footprint and enables a more sustainable life cycle.

It was difficult to ensure the traceability of the sustainability of chemically recycled raw materials from production to shipping until now.
We have worked with our partners to enable the use of chemically recycled material for food-grade applications.
Today, the ISCC+ certificate allows us to offer chemically recycled products suitable for food contact environments.
We use the mass balance approach for our zippers made from our certified recycled plastic.
FLEXICO has implemented the ISCC+ process to ensure the correct traceability of materials.
The ISCC Plus certification involves tight collaboration across multiple Flexico departments : quality, supply-chain, production and management control.
We already offer many recycled products, such as regenerated materials used in our range of self-adhesive flap bags.
Recycled raw materials (RRM) are also incorporated in our standard Minigrip® opaque black or antistatic bags.
We also use post-industrial recycled plastic (PIR) and PCR recycled plastic in our Minigrip® range. We are committed to offer, new, innovative and responsible solutions.
Our goal is to produce 15% of our packaging using recycled or bio-based plastic by 2025.
We have obtained ISCC+ certification for our most popular zippers, while maintaining food contact compliance (BRCGS certified).
