Multi-Plastics is validating its commitment to the environment with the release of its EnviroCycle 4200 Series shrink films. This new product line features 100% recyclable PET shrink films and allows printed sleeves to recycle with the bottle.
This keeps plastics out of the landfill and provides the environmental stewardship brand owners require.
APR, The Association of Plastic Recyclers, has recently recognized Multi-Plastics Inc.’s EnviroCycle 4200 Series copolyester heat shrinkable film substrate as meeting or exceeding APR’s PET-CG-02, Critical Guidance Protocol for Clear PET Articles with Labels and Closures, most strict requirements and hereby so states. This APR recognition is based on the technical recyclability of the label substrate innovation with PET bottles.
The Critical Guidance Protocol for Clear PET Articles with Labels and Closures is the product of multi-industry consensus of key issues related to the recycling of postconsumer PET bottles. The Protocol directs product developers to conduct specific testing per established testing procedures and then provides the developer with guidance to interpret the results. The APR recognition is based on the innovation meeting or exceeding the most challenging test conditions and strictest guidance criteria.
APR thanked Multi-Plastics for its cooperation in using this important protocol. The protocol is intended to improve the quality of recycled bottles by helping product developers make informed decisions about the consequences of PET bottle innovations. The impact of this protocol is worldwide.
David Parsio, Multi-Plastics' vice president, adds, “We are further displaying our commitment to full-cycle sustainability through environmental responsibility with the EnviroCycle film line. This is just one of the many innovations from Multi-Plastics in our efforts to create more value for our customers, provide industry-leading film solutions, and keep plastics out of our oceans and landfills.”
