Albéa Tubes is now producing its Greenleaf plastic laminate web at its Brampton, Ontario site following the installation of a new blown film line. The move boosts North American sourcing of recyclable HDPE tubes, per the company.

The Greenleaf tubes are recycling ready in the HDPE stream where collection and recycling are available, per the Association of Plastic Recyclers.  

The Brampton site is now “a game-changer in offering sustainable solutions made in North America supporting customers in the transition from common aluminum foil containing tubes to all-plastic laminate Greenleaf tubes for such products as toothpaste, personal care items, cosmetics and pharma markets," says Bruno de Carvalho, VP and general manager for Albéa Tubes America.

“Our new line adheres to international standards, ensuring the best quality products and meeting our customers’ demanding requirements," says Brampton plant manager Jerzy Debski.

The Brampton facility was established in 2000 and specializes in extrusion lamination of multi-layer web for aluminum-barrier laminate (ABL) tubes for personal care and cosmetics, oral care, and other applications.
