Charter Next Generation Company

Charter Next Generation has quickly become North America's leading independent producer of

high-performance, specialty films used in flexible packaging and other end-use markets. Driven by

a relentless sustainability-first mindset, each of the twelve CNG facilities is playing a vital role in

the growth and innovation that has characterized the company since its inception.

With more than 30% of all food produced globally wasted due to spoilage, Charter Next

Generation offers solutions for keeping food fresh longer while maintaining the lowest carbon

footprint of any major packaging substrate. These attributes are imperative at a time when in the

U.S., for example, 54 million Americans are food insecure, up significantly due to the COVID-19

pandemic. Additionally, with landfills being the third-largest industrial emitter of methane, food

waste alone represents 8% of total global greenhouse gas emissions.

CNG manufactures the highest performing packaging solutions focused especially on creating

heat resistance, sterility, oxygen and odor barriers, UV shields, moisture protection, and more.

Our unparalleled devotion to the environment ensures our films allow for recyclability,

compostability, and the use of post-consumer resin. Our sophisticated specialty films are also

used in a variety of other custom solutions.
