Abstract

A method of making a flexible package made of polymeric film is provided. The method comprises the steps of: a) obtaining post-industrial recycled material from post-industrial recycling of precursor polymeric film formed of precursor polymeric material which is substantially the same as the virgin polymeric material of step c), b) providing at least 30 weight-% post-industrial recycled material obtained in step a) based on the overall weight of the polymeric film, c) providing up to 70 weight-% of virgin polymeric material based on the total weight of the polymeric film, and d) jointly melting the virgin polymeric material and the post-industrial recycled material. The method comprises the steps of: e) extruding the molten polymeric material and molten post-industrial recycled material to form a polymeric film, f) providing print on one or both surfaces of the polymeric film, and g) converting the polymeric film into the flexible package.
