Charter Next Generation

Thank you to Packaging Strategies for another successful Global Pouch Forum.

A particular highlight was Charter Next Generation's Kristin Edie, who presented findings from a multi-phase study on the regulatory consistency of food-grade Post-Consumer Recycled (PCR) content, sparking important dialogue around EPR compliance and what it takes to advance PCR at scale in food applications.

As flexible packaging continues to evolve, conversations around performance, protection, and sustainability remain critical to advancing the industry. We appreciated the opportunity to connect with customers, partners, and peers throughout the event and share how CNG is helping move packaging forward through material science innovation.

We look forward to continuing these conversations in support of our purpose of .

In pursuit of continuous improvement and waste reduction, Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. identified a need for a more durable slip sheet solution ed to maintain product integrity and eliminate single-use materials across its operations.

Charter Next Generation supported the transition from kraft paperboard slip sheets to a high-performance alternative designed for repeatable use and seamless integration into existing operations.

The result: significant waste reduction, lower operating costs, and improved production efficiency.

This April, Charter Next Generation employee-owners came together across our facilities to make a difference in the communities where we live and work.

Across our organization, participants collected more than 62,000 pieces of litter during the Challenge, with 214 employee-owners contributing throughout the initiative.
