Charter Next Generation

Charter Next Generation is paving the way for a better tomorrow. CNG has quickly become North America’s leading independent producer of high-performance, specialty film, flexible food packaging solutions, and other end-use markets that impact our local neighborhoods and beyond, day in and day out. Through our commitment to creating a better world, we passionately pursue sustainable solutions that protect families, strengthen the global community, and facilitate a greener future for generations to come.

Driven by an unwavering sustainability-first mindset, each of our fourteen CNG facilities is playing a vital role in the growth and innovation that has characterized the company since its beginnings. We pride ourselves on manufacturing and delivering best-in-class material science solutions for a wide array of end-use markets, to advance our mission and accelerate our customers’ business growth.

Our premium custom engineered solutions preserve the integrity of products, increase productivity, safeguard fresh materials and foods longer, and utilize cleaner processes to maintain the lowest carbon footprint of any major packaging supplier. Our unparalleled devotion to the environment also amplifies our efforts to create a circular economy and ensures our films allow for recyclability, compostability, and the use of post-consumer resin.

Designing and developing innovative, environmentally conscious film solutions is imperative -- now more than ever. Over 41 million Americans, and an estimated 1.3 billion individuals across the globe are currently facing food insecurity, yet food waste alone represents 8% of total global greenhouse gas emissions and landfills are the third-largest industrial source of methane emissions. That is why as the leading producer of specialty film and flexible food packaging solutions, we are dedicated to continuously striving for a cleaner tomorrow.
