Siegwerk, Tripack and Multi-Plastics recyclable shrink sleeve at Labelexpo

Siegwerk, Multi-Plastics and Tripack, have collaborated to unveil a new APR-approved, fully recyclable shrink sleeve water bottle project for the English Mountain Spring Water Company at the upcoming Labelexpo Americas 2024.

Multi-Plastics, a key contributor to the project, provided its Envirocycle 30 percent post-consumer recyclate PET shrink sleeve film essential for the structural integrity of the recyclable English Mountain Spring Water Company water bottle.

Siegwerk's Cirkit de-inking primer, combined with Sicura Orbis ink technology, to wash off in combination with deinking primer, was instrumental in ensuring the bottle's recyclability.

Tripack's expertise in application technology enabled the integration of PET shrink sleeves onto PET bottles, establishing sustainable packaging that prioritizes efficiency and eco-consciousness.

The use of Multi-Plastics Envirocycle PET shrink sleeve film in this project highlights its role in enhancing the quality of recycling processes, preventing clumping, and significantly reducing the environmental footprint.

The shrink sleeves were printed using a PET film with 30 percent post-consumer recyclate, which enhances the overall commitment toward achieving a higher standard of environmental responsibility.

This latest development is based on the APR-approved design guidelines, including shrink sleeve material and inks that meet the APR standards for preferred design recognition.
