Applications include food and beverage, health and beauty, and household chemical labeling.
FLEXcon Co., Inc. recently announced the expansion of its FLEXcon® optiFLEX® ecoFOCUS™ line to include conformable polyethylene labeling solutions that enable recyclability of HDPE containers. These white and clear products reportedly utilize the company's V-127RE adhesive to ensure excellent performance and maximize recyclability of HDPE containers. In addition, the TRACrite™ 1.2-mil polyester liner contains up to 60% post-industrial content, further minimizing the carbon footprint. Applications include food and beverage, health and beauty, and household chemical labeling.
“Using a PE film on an HDPE container means you are pairing like polymers—a benefit over using BOPP films on HDPE containers,” said Melissa David, product manager, packaging. “This better facilitates container recyclability, helping brands and CPG companies achieve their sustainability goals.”
