Sustainability isn’t a department at Five Star. It’s a focus built into every operation we run.
From our own recycling facilities to in-house resin recovery and formulation, we help the world’s leading CPG brands hit their environmental targets — without sacrificing the quality, barrier performance, or supply reliability their products demand.
Our PurE product line delivers 100% recyclable polyethylene films and bags that match the barrier, strength, and shelf appeal of traditional multi-material laminates — without the recycling headaches. Drop it in the PE stream. Done. No special handling. No sorting complexity. Just packaging that performs and recycles cleanly.
Every percentage point of recycled content counts — and we measure ours.
Recycled Material Content (RMC) certifies how much post-consumer and post-industrial material goes back into new Five Star packaging. Today, our products meet or exceed a 5% RMC threshold — and that number is climbing as we invest in advanced recycling capacity and resin recovery across our facilities.
Beyond recyclable: packaging that returns to the earth.
Working alongside leading CPG brands and innovative resin partners, Five Star has pioneered the use of bio-based films in real-world packaging applications:
PLA films for industrial composting — proven in high-volume snack and pet treat packaging.
PHA films that are home compostable and marine biodegradable — setting a new standard for end-of-life packaging performance.
At Five Star, we take pride in our accomplishments in sustainability. Our efforts have led to the recycling of over 20,000 tons of materials and significant energy savings equivalent to powering 1,000 homes for a year. These numbers reflect our dedication to a healthier planet and inspire confidence in our innovative packaging solutions.
