Avery Dennison, headquartered in Glendale, California, has introduced its CleanFlake Portfolio of labeling solutions, which the company says improves yield in the polyethylene terephthalate (PET) recycling process while offering the shelf appeal that pressure-sensitive labels are known for.
The company says pressure-sensitive labels can limit PET recyclability into food-grade rPET because of adhesive contamination. CleanFlake technology, however, is designed to cleanly separate in reaction to the caustic bath, leaving no adhesive residue on the PET flake, according to Avery Dennison.
The CleanFlake solution is compatible with the existing value chain, the company says, and is available for PET bottles and thermoform containers.
