Siegwerk, Multi-Plastics and Tripack are set to unveil a fully recyclable shrink sleeve water bottle for the English Mountain Spring Water Company at Label Expo Americas 2024.
Multi-Plastics provided its Envirocycle 30% post-consumer recyclate PET shrink sleeve film for the project, while Siegwerk contributed its CIRKIT de-inking primer technology, combined with SICURA Orbis ink technology, to wash off in combination with deinking primer.
Meanwhile, Tripack’s expertise in application technology enabled the integration of PET shrink sleeves onto PET bottles.
Multi-Plastics’ film reportedly prevents clumping, while Siegwerk’s deinking primer and ink aim to ensure a clean and uncontaminated PET flake with minimal impact on wash water.
The shrink sleeves were printed using a PET film with 30 percent post-consumer recyclate, based on APR-approved design guidelines.
The partner companies 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.
