INTERPACK 2026
CCL Label to Spothlight High-Performance Circular Packaging at Interpack 2026
CCL Label, a global leader in specialty label and packaging solutions, will have a focus on circular economy-driven innovations at Interpack 2026, underlining its commitment to sustainable, high-performance packaging.
“At Interpack, we are demonstrating how packaging design can actively support recycling systems rather than disrupt them,” said Reinhard Streit, Group Vice President Food & Beverage Global at CCL Label. “Solutions such as transparent or white EcoFloat shrink sleeves and WashOff labels are engineered with precise material behavior in mind—density, shrink performance, and clean separation—so that brands can achieve strong shelf impact while improving recyclate quality at scale.”
At the show, CCL Label will spotlight three advanced solution areas that help brands meet recycling targets, regulatory eco-design requirements and consumer expectations without compromising premium looks or functional performance:
EcoFloat® Shrink Sleeves – Engineered for Recycling and Brand Impact
CCL Label’s iconic EcoFloat® shrink sleeves are engineered from a low-density polyolefin (PO) material that enables automatic separation during PET recycling. In sink-float recycling operations, the heavier PET bottle fragments sink while the EcoFloat material floats, allowing clean separation and high-quality PET recyclate for bottle-to-bottle reuse – closing the loop. It is approved by recyclers and endorsed by RecyClass in Europe and APR in the USA for PET recycling streams and also HDPE and PP streams.
Now, there is also an EcoFloat® WHITE option designed for light-sensitive products, enabling the shift from opaque HDPE or PET packaging to clear PET bottles while maintaining the safety of the filling good and enhancing food-grade recyclability.
WashOff Labels – Clean Release for Reuse and Refill
CCL Label’s WashOff™ label solutions are engineered for industrial wash-off processes used in returnable, reusable and refillable systems. These pressure-sensitive labels detach cleanly during washing without residue, enabling efficient reuse of containers while maintaining high-quality brand presentation.
This technology supports refillable packaging systems made from glass or PET and aligns with PPWR goals in Europe and other evolving regulatory frameworks that emphasize reuse-ready formats.
Sustainable Pouches – Recyclable Flexible Packaging
CCL Label will also present its sustainable pouch portfolio, featuring mono-material, recyclable pouch structures designed for a wide range of applications. These pouches combine barrier performance with lightweight construction, reducing material use and supporting recyclable streams where local infrastructure allows. They offer brands the flexibility to create eye-catching designs while contributing to waste reduction and a reduced carbon footprint of the lightweight packaging.
Driving Circular Packaging Forward
“At Interpack 2026, we are reinforcing our belief that sustainability and premium packaging design are not mutually exclusive,” says Streit. “Our innovations are designed to help brands meet recyclability requirements, enhance material recovery, and deliver premium consumer appeal — all while supporting the transition to a more circular packaging economy.”
Interpack 2026 runs from May 7 to 13 at Messe Düsseldorf, Germany. CCL Label will be exhibiting at Hall 8A Stand B30
