What a great week at PACK EXPO! We loved welcoming visitors to the Charter Next Generation booth and connecting with so many people across the industry.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by the CNG booth. Here are a few favorite moments with the team!

Charter Next Generation is showcasing how advanced MDO-PE film can help brands move toward The Association of Plastic Recyclers (APR)-compliant, recycle-ready packaging while delivering reliable performance on existing equipment.

With a 50% wider heat seal window, the film supports a smoother transition to mono-material formats. These formats can also support film recycling goals and may offer fee advantages under initial extended producer responsibility (EPR) frameworks.
