Inovar360® Sustainable Labels
PET is the most recycled plastic worldwide as more than 1.5 billion pounds of used PET bottles and containers are recovered each year in the U.S. alone. However, too much of that recycled PET is contaminated by inks, labels, and adhesive residue in the recycling process that make it unsuitable to be used again as food and beverage packaging.
Developed to improve the recyclability of PET containers, the Inovar360® Portfolio conforms to the APR Design™ Guide for Plastics Recyclability. This means Inovar360® products feature innovations in which the inks do not stain the wash water and the labels cleanly separate from the PET material, resulting in pure PET flakes, the conservation of virgin PET resources, and less landfill waste.
