LDPET® Steam : Ensuring the recyclability of PET food packaging

LDPET® (Low Density PET) is the first shrink sleeve made from PET with an optimized density for recycling. Specifically designed to facilitate the sorting of packaging, it enables the recycling and valorization of PET bottles within existing recycling streams. This solution complies with European and global eco-design regulations and is recognized through two certifications: APR (United States) and EPBP (Europe).

Industrial integration up to 1100 bpm

Low-density PET

Non-bleeding inks

Closed-loop bottle-to-bottle recycling

A low-density sleeve label for optimized PET recycling

Designed to meet the demands of the circular economy, LDPET® features a density below 1, ensuring effective separation of the sleeve during sorting processes.

This characteristic allows optimal routing of the packaging to PET recycling streams, thereby guaranteeing complete bottle recycling.

Its formulation includes specific non-bleeding inks that prevent pigment migration in the recycling flow, preserving the quality of the final material. This innovative sleeve label is compatible with steam shrink technologies as well as infrared and hot air, facilitating its integration across all packaging lines.

A compliant solution recognized and valued by the markets

Already adopted by major brands in the cosmetics and beverage sectors, LDPET® has established itself as a reliable solution that combines marketing performance with environmental responsibility.

It holds official recognition from the APR (Association of Plastic Recyclers, USA) and complies with the recommendations of the EPBP, ensuring its compatibility with PET recycling streams in Europe.

Several awards, including the AWA Environmental Contribution Award and the Pack of the Future, highlight its innovation and commitment to the circular economy.

To meet specific needs for light protection while maintaining end-of-life benefits, an opaque light barrier version is also available: LDPET White Barrier®, an alternative to opaque PET designed to optimize both product performance and circularity.
