Sleeve-labeled PET recycling recommendations released

摘要

The Association of Postconsumer Plastic Recyclers has released the Final Report of the Sleeve Label Working Group detailing recommendations the packaging industry can use to mitigate the impact of sleeve labels on the recycling of PET bottles. Formed in June of 2013, the APR Working Group represents all segments of the recycling industry and label supply chain, including PET reclaimers, brand owners, material suppliers, equipment vendors, and testing labs. Their primary focus is the ever-growing technical issues associated with recycling containers with full-wrap shrink-sleeve labels.
