Multi-Plastics, Siegwerk and Tripack have united to unveil a new APR approved fully recyclable shrink sleeve water bottle project for the English Mountain Spring Water Company.
The project will be showcased at Labelexpo Americas 2024, September 10-12 in Rosemont, Illinois.
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 deinking primer technology, combined with SICURA Orbis ink technology, has been utilized to wash off in combination with deinking primer, and it was instrumental in ensuring the bottle’s recyclability. Tripack’s expertise in application technology enabled the seamless integration of PET shrink sleeves onto PET bottles, establishing a sustainable packaging solution that prioritizes efficiency and eco-consciousness.
The shrink sleeves were printed using a PET film with 30 percent post-consumer recyclate. This collaboration created this shrink sleeve label based on the APR approved design guidelines. This included shrink sleeve material and inks that meet the APR standards for preferred design recognition.
