Details

EcoFloat Shrink Sleeves combine recyclability and premium shelf appeal to support a more circular packaging future.

EcoFloat is a Shrink Sleeve solution engineered for PET, PP and HDPE packaging. Its low-density, floatable sleeve material separates efficiently from container flakes during the recycling process, enabling clean material separation and helping increase the recovery of high-quality recycled material.

Combined with a non-bleeding ink system that prevents contamination of flakes and the washing bath, EcoFloat supports container-to-container recycling while delivering premium shelf appeal and outstanding design flexibility.

Designed to meet critical recycling guidance from APR and EPBP, EcoFloat helps brands advance their sustainability goals without compromising on visual impact.

Premium
Shelf Appeal

Delivers 360° decoration and strong visual impact without compromising recyclability or packaging performance.

Floatable
Technology

Floatable sleeve material enables efficient separation from PET and HDPE during sink-float recycling, supporting cleaner recycling streams and improved material recovery. For PP containers, sleeve and container are recycled together in the same PP recycling stream.

Drop-In
Compatibility

Designed to run under the same process conditions as conventional shrink films, enabling seamless implementation with consistent application and shrink performance.

High-Quality
Material Recovery

Helps maximize the yield and quality of recycled PET and HDPE, supporting container-to-container recycling and circular packaging goals.

EcoFloat White

EcoFloat White is an innovative floatable Shrink Sleeve solution that enables transparent PET containers to be used for light-sensitive products. By replacing the need for opaque containers, it supports the use of transparent PET, which is preferred for high-quality bottle-to-bottle recycling. The sleeve separates efficiently from the PET container during recycling, helping maximize material recovery.

Key benefits:

Provides effective light protection for sensitive products such as dairy, beverages and nutritional products
Supports high-quality PET recycling through floatable sleeve technology
Enables efficient separation from PET in sink-float recycling processes
Combines product protection with recyclability in a single solution
Delivers excellent shelf appeal with premium 360° decoration opportunities

Frequently asked questions about EcoFloat & EcoFloat White Shrink Sleeves

What is EcoFloat?

Floatable sleeve material enables efficient separation from PET and HDPE during sink-float recycling, supporting cleaner recycling streams and the recovery of high-quality recyclates. For PP containers, the sleeve is compatible with the PP recycling stream, allowing the sleeve and container to be recycled together without material separation.

How does EcoFloat support PET recycling?

EcoFloat uses a low-density sleeve material that floats during sink-float separation processes. This allows the sleeve to be efficiently separated from PET, helping recyclers recover valuable PET material for reuse.

What is the difference between EcoFloat and EcoFloat White?

EcoFloat is available in transparent and white versions to meet different packaging requirements. While both solutions support efficient separation during PET recycling, EcoFloat White additionally provides light protection for sensitive products such as dairy and beverages, helping preserve product quality while maintaining recyclability.

What are the benefits of EcoFloat White?

EcoFloat White combines recyclability with product protection. The white sleeve material helps shield light-sensitive products, such as dairy and certain beverages, while still supporting efficient separation during recycling.

Which packaging applications are suitable for EcoFloat and EcoFloat White?

EcoFloat is suitable for a wide range of PET, HDPE, and PP packaging applications, including beverages, dairy products, food, and home and personal care products. EcoFloat White is the ideal solution for light-sensitive products in transparent PET containers. The white sleeve provides the required light protection, enabling the use of transparent PET, which is preferred for high-quality bottle-to-bottle recycling.

Does EcoFloat compromise shelf appeal?

No. EcoFloat provides excellent print quality and full-body decoration opportunities, allowing brands to create impactful packaging designs while supporting recyclability goals.

How does EcoFloat support sustainability goals?

EcoFloat supports clean recycling streams for PET, HDPE, and PP packaging. Through efficient separation or compatibility with the respective recycling stream, the solution contributes to the recovery of high-quality recyclates and supports brands in developing packaging designed for a circular economy.
