Brook + Whittle’s GreenLabel BlockOut light-blocking shrink sleeve solution has received recognition from the Association of Plastic Recyclers (APR) as meeting or exceeding the voluntary requirements for APR Design for Recyclability Recognition.
Additionally, How2Recycle has evaluated the solution and has pre-qualified it as widely recyclable on eligible clear PET bottles.
The recognition from both organizations highlights Brook + Whittle’s commitment to advancing circular packaging solutions and its role in driving sustainability in the labeling industry.
The APR Design for Recyclability Recognition program evaluates the materials, components, and design of packaging to ensure it is compatible with recycling systems and can be effectively recycled. Brook + Whittle’s recyclable light-blocking shrink sleeve has been recognized for its design that not only meets the high recyclability standards but also offers superior protection for light-sensitive products, said the company.
How2Recycle is a standardized labeling system that clearly communicates recycling instructions to the public.
