ARM has a Full Loop RevLog program
for the entire flexible packaging industry.
We refer to this program as "Roll Film".

Additional materials under evaluation: 
 Stub roles of unprinted film
 Printed seconds
Corrugated Cores

We are providing an on-line version of our basic document for you to consider - our Roll Film Line Card.

Also - we have found that communication is the most vital element of successful relationship building.  We are attempting to use the inter-net to facilitate this communication.  Check out the info tools we intend to use to further promote our mutual success.

Lastly - a questionnaire for you to complete and send to us if you feel you want to pursue a potential relationship.  An ARM Roll Film Team member will follow-up with you after we assess your information.

 

ARM's Roll Film Line Card

American Recycling & Manufacturing Co., Inc. (ARM) has applied our expertise in Reverse Logistics (RevLog) and applied it to the roll film industry to develop systems that provide real solutions to our partners.

What does ARM do?

We collect, process, and return reusable items to your vendors. We take your vendor's reusable items from your waste stream, reducing your disposal costs and assisting you in meeting your environmental objectives by drastically reducing landfill usage.

 End Pads 

Pallets

Core Plugs
  Cleats

H-Channels
  Corrugated/Foam Discs

We assist you in resolving your recycling issues. We partner with you to consult on your recycling issues, additionally reducing your waste stream costs. Examples include:

    - Stub roles of film 
    - Printed seconds
    - Cores
    - Barrels
    - Vertical Packaging

We design programs that return your reusable items from your customers. Our network of partners may already actively return your components. If not, we assess these opportunities and then propose solutions that bring you the greatest economic advantage. ARM can generally return your reusable packaging materials to you from your customers at a 30% to 40% cost savings.

We handle the coordination to accomplish all of these things. The action team may include many different individuals, but ARM will coordinate their efforts, minimizing your personal effort to get the job done.

We design packaging to maximize reusability. ARM has packaging engineers and other design professionals on staff, and has strategic alliances with manufacturers of new materials. ARM designers and packaging professionals can work with you to propose alternatives that maximize your internal use and shipping packaging potential.

We open our books and share our costs. ARM implements a business policy known as Shared SuccessTM. By doing so we can work together to create true win-win-win relationships.

ARM has a proven team - providing solutions to your RevLog and recycling needs.

Call us at (716) 235-2210, ask for the Roll Film Program Manager, and let us start bringing our solutions to you today.

Communication is Key!

Clear, accurate communication - or the lack there of - has been one of the major issues we must confront to ensure our mutual success.  Here is what we intend to do to make sure we keep information flowing:

1.  Create a password protected sub-site to handle our relationship.  You will receive a designation as a Roll Film Customer (RFC), Roll Film Returner (RFR), or Roll Film Supplier (RFS)

2.  Publish a page on your sub-site which delineates the elements of our relationship.

3.  Roll Film Customers - we will dedicate web-space to provide inventory information, ordering methods, and relationship reports.

4.  Roll Film Returners - we will dedicate web-space to provide return evaluations, methods for you to request material pick-up, and relationship reports.  (Check out our Returner Support Web!  Click here to go back to the Roll Film Returner section, read about what we propose, and follow the link to the sub-web.)

5.  Roll Film Suppliers - we will dedicate web-space to provide our current inventory levels and other relationship reports.   

Our intention is to ensure that information is available as quickly as possible - to everyone in your organization that has an interest in making our relationship successful.  Information does not get lost in transfer, or end up terminally on one person's desk.  If the information is available it is posted so everyone in your organization who has the password can see the facts.
