Pack The Future 2023: A recyclable clear PET bottle with white barrier property
LDPET White Barrier, a path forward PET bottle-to-bottle recycling with the first floatable light barrier shrink-sleeve label
This prestigious prize rewards LDPET® White Barrier product, the first floatable light-barrier shrink-sleeve label promoting bottle-to-bottle recycling of clear PET bottles.
Further the success of LDPET, the first full body shrink-sleeve label compatible with bottle-to-bottle PET recycling, SLEEVER is proud to extend the range with LDPET White Barrier, the first low-density "light barrier" shrink-sleeve label.
Brand image, light-protection and closed-loop recyclability is now a reality for fresh products packaging.
LDPET White Barrier preserves the organoleptic properties of the light-sensitive products, and extend their shelf life, whilst remaining compatible with closed-loop PET recycling: brands owners can thus choose a transparent PET bottle that is easily recyclable in a closed loop.
LDPET White Barrier is compatible with all stages of closed-loop PET recycling:
It provides a PET optical signature during sorting
- This low density film separates from PET by flotation
- The inks used, without bleeding, guarantee non-contamination of the recycling baths
They can also benefit from a full-body decoration that offers visibility and differentiation on the shelf, for a premium image.
With its excellent opacity and whiteness, it offers an effective light barrier, and the printing techniques offer up to 10 colors, for endless creative options.
To follow LDPET's approval and guidelines compatibility by major recyclers associations APR and EPBP, LDPET White Barrier's endorsement is in progress and will be confirmed during the coming weeks.
