Recycled PET

Flexible Packaging industry is experiencing a shift in its regular practices. This shift is not unpredictable. It is the preference of Recycled PET in flexible packaging practices. Shrink sleeve packaging with Recycled-PET has given a new life to recycling.

I am working in shrink sleeve packaging industry for almost 2 decades. It was an experience that changed my perspective of life. I have lived packaging throughout my life, and I have learned that creativity is the essence, but it had to be included with practical implementation. R-PET is the perfect mixture that defines it. I have written about the sustainable substrates in my 2^nd book – “5 Myths about sustainable shrink sleeves and received various inputs from all of you”. I hope you have read it through and would relate it from the topic we are discussing now.

The future of flexible packaging is this combination, and indeed Recyclable-PET is the scope. Let’s know a bit more about this new approach. Recycled-PET as its name suggest, deal with already used and recycled plastic. This is excellent opportunity to utilize loitering plastics in environment. A welcoming move by Indian government has recently permitted that newly manufactured PET bottles must contain 30% PCR. And similar kind of rule will be in near future in flexible packaging industry.

Taurus has recently come up with Recycled-PET shrink sleeves to cater the growing sustainable market in flexible shrink sleeves. The percentage share of recycled PET was thoughtfully done to consider the current industry situation and the objective to provide quality products to consumer. One must be accustomed to the benefits and drawback in its initial phase to prepare for the full-scale application.

Recycled-PET is perfectly safe and easy for food packaging. Giving good results is clarity and great results in shrinking ability. It is widely used by international and MNC’s brand to deal with less carbon footprint. In India the use has been in its initial phase, however we are receiving promising response from the brand. It is giving them opportunity to limit the expanding virgin plastic use, support govt. in recycling and gain benefits.

Using Recycled-Pet is a win-win situation. Brand can be in-line with govt regulation and reduced their carbon footprint, on the top of this they can benefit the consumer with good results and optimistic future.
