In an exciting advancement for sustainable packaging solutions, Siegwerk, Multi-Plastics, and Tripack have pooled their expertise to introduce a revolutionary APR-approved fully recyclable shrink sleeve water bottle for the English Mountain Spring Water Company. This launch will take place at Label Expo Americas 2024, scheduled for September 10-12 in Chicago, IL. This collaboration emphasizes a strong commitment to environmental stewardship and innovation within the food and drink packaging sector.
Multi-Plastics plays a crucial role in this initiative, supplying their Envirocycle 30 percent post-consumer recyclate PET shrink sleeve film, which is vital for maintaining the structural integrity of the recyclable water bottle from English Mountain Spring Water Company. Additionally, Siegwerk’s advanced CIRKIT de-inking primer technology, paired with SICURA Orbis ink technology for effective wash-off, significantly enhances the bottle’s recyclability. Meanwhile, Tripack’s expertise in application technology facilitates the smooth integration of PET shrink sleeves onto PET bottles, reinforcing a sustainable packaging solution that emphasizes both efficiency and eco-friendliness.
The implementation of Multi-Plastics’ Envirocycle PET shrink sleeve film in this project highlights its pivotal role in improving recycling processes. This innovative film prevents clumping and notably minimizes the environmental impact. Furthermore, Siegwerk’s CIRKIT de-inking primer and SICURA Orbis ink technology establish new benchmarks for ink removal, ensuring clean and uncontaminated PET flakes with a minimal effect on wash water. These advancements significantly contribute to the broader cause of sustainability in food and drink sustainable packaging.
The shrink sleeves are printed on PET film containing 30 percent post-consumer recyclate, reinforcing the overall dedication to higher standards of environmental responsibility. This collaboration has successfully developed a shrink sleeve label that adheres to APR-approved design guidelines. The materials and inks used meet APR’s standards for preferred design recognition. This strategic methodology not only showcases technical capabilities but also demonstrates the partners’ commitment to fully align with the APR’s PET recycling requirements across all elements of the shrink sleeve label.
This partnership among Tripack, Siegwerk, and Multi-Plastics exemplifies a unified vision for a more sustainable future. Here, technical innovation meets environmental awareness, driving positive transformations in the food and drink packaging industry.
