1. Polystyrene: a plastic film designed specifically for the needs of high speed envelope production;

2. Cellulose based films, such as: glassine and acetate films;

3. PLA: a new film derived from corn; and

4. Other plastic films used for specific, non-standard applications.

Petroleum Consumption in America
0.0002% of all petroleum in the U.S. is used to make polystyrene film for envelope window coverings, all of which is recyclable.

Take a look at where the other 99.998% of petroleum is used in America.

80.00% fuels
17.20% asphalt, road oil and other lubricants
2.60% all plastics
.002% all polystyrenes

Polystyrene pellets are melted and made into film. Manufacturing scrap (start-up waste and edge trim waste) is re-processed into usable film or sold to other plastic processors.

No film in the manufacturing process is sent to a landfill.
