The Business Case for RNG Plastics
Positive Societal and Financial Returns
RNG Plastics enables manufacturers to substantially reduce lifecycle carbon impact while maintaining existing manufacturing processes and product performance—with economics that often improve rather than deteriorate.
Minimal Manufacturing Cost Impact
EPS Resin is used at very low load rates, resulting in a very small increase in raw material cost and no loss in performance.
Reduce or Eliminate PCR
Many manufacturers rely on expensive PCR resins to meet sustainability goals.
Using EPS Resin PCR can be completely eliminated with zero-contamination outputs and a lower carbon footprint.
Annual Carbon Credit Revenue
Participating manufacturers may qualify for annual carbon credit rebates through the RNG Plastics Carbon Credit Program.
WHY THE ECONOMICS WORKS
Sustainability That Doesn't Require Sacrificing Margins
Small Formulation Impact
Inclusion of RNG Plastics' proprietary EPS Resin typically increases costs by less than 3%.
Manufacturing Compatibility
Extrusion, thermoforming, molding, conversion, and packaging/filling workflows are unchanged.
Certification Workflows
Set up your company on the AI Hub and manage ASTM Landfill-Safe tests, LCA certifications, and manufacturing record keeping.
Compliance & Traceability
On the AI Hub, auditing/validating manufacturing records and EPS resin usage is an automated task - providing evidence of compliance for carbon credit claims.
