Real Measurement Equals Real Results.

Lifecycle Assesment

We ensure that our client’s products meet our sustainability guidelines through our proprietary Lifecycle Assessment (LCA) program as well as through verification and testing backed by scientific analysis. This cradle-to-grave analysis is the investigation and valuation of the environmental impacts of your product. The LCA will examine all steps in the creation of your product or service and then identify ways to make the product or service more environmentally friendly while reducing production costs and increasing bottom-line profits.

In most cases, we can work with your existing supply chain to create your product in a more eco friendly manner or through our eco design services, we can design a new product that is more environmentally friendly for your use. We also have partners in supply chain fulfillment that may be the right fit to make your product green.

The categories we analyze are:

• Global warming (greenhouse gases)
• Acidification
• Smog
• Ozone layer depletion
• Eco-toxicological and human-toxicological pollutants
• Depletion of minerals and fossil fuels

The procedures of life cycle assessment (LCA) are part of the ISO 14000 environmental management standards.

Proprietary Technology

Innovative recycling technology is the backbone of Nextlife, giving us the ability to transform large volumes of post-consumer plastic waste into highly-refined, 100% recycled resins.

Nextlife’s state of the art technology has enabled us to offer the highest quality sustainable resins for use in your products. Our sourced material passes through rigorous testing and cleaning before becoming feedstock for product manufacturing. Our sorting, cleaning, and extrusion process is effective and has allowed us to create FDA approved PP and PS resins. Our newly installed washline will allow us to manufacture resin pellets made from post consumer film, back into material that may be used in film applications. Thus giving the material, its nextlife.

Our proprietary, state-of-the-art equipment and processes are fully automated and can efficiently:

• Remove all contamination, (including paper, fabric, foam, rubber, stickers, adhesive, fines and metals) from hangers
• Clean / de-contaminate sourced material
• Melt and filtrate
• Separate plastic resins by type
• Separate colors
• Additive compounding

Nextlife Programs

We will develop a program for you that merits respect from your employees, will save money, and won’t be overlooked when your initial green push is over. Green is also about efficiencies, and we know how to make green pay in the short and long run.

Our expert team of recycling management professionals is dedicated to serving our customers’ recycling initiatives, from evaluation of goals to program implementation. NextLife can provide the supplies, equipment, training and ongoing support needed to achieve any recycling goals.

If you have plastic waste that needs to be collected, consolidated, transported, destroyed or converted into post-consumer resin, we’re the solutions provider that can do just that.

NextLife can recycle any plastic bags or film, including grocery and carrier bags, stretch wrap, shrink wrap, furniture wrap, garment covers and poly bags. These excess plastic materials make up a huge part of our domestic waste, yet they are so easily recycled. Instead of letting your discarded plastic bags and film end up in a landfill, send them to us and we’ll turn them into sustainable resins that can be used to create another useful product.

Nextlife’s facilities are specially designed to process various types of rigid plastic waste. We collect all types of rigid plastics – such as hangers, CD cases and DVDs – and transform them into high quality post-consumer resin through a certified recycling process.

NextLife designs and implements turnkey recycling programs that help companies work more efficiently and environmentally. From transportation logistics to employee training, our complete and customized approach ensures streamlined operations throughout the process. A dedicated recycling specialist is assigned to each account to maximize communications from start to finish.

Whether you already have some initiatives in place or are starting from square one, NextLife’s customized applications are designed to meet your specific sustainability goals and take you as far as you want to go. NextLife’s turnkey operations can benefit you: Waste Generators can eliminate excess plastic materials in a safe and responsible way. Manufacturers can create innovative, sustainable goods from our high-performance resins. Through our closed-loop applications, our customers can be the suppliers of raw material waste AND the demand point for the new products it becomes. Not only does this offer our customers a reoccurring revenue stream and an effective business strategy, it creates a cyclical and efficient system.
