We won the official PETCO AWARD in South Africa for our sustainable shrink sleeves EcoFloat!
The award underpins the advantages that a low density polyolefin shrink sleeve has for PET RECYCLING: as the shrink sleeve Automat detaches from the PET bottle material during the sink/float process there is a very clean separation which enhances the quality of the PET flakes that can then be recycled back into bottles – closing the loop!
PETCO is the trading name of the PET Recycling Company NPC, a registered Producer Responsibility Organisation (PRO) that was originally incorporated in 2004 as a voluntary Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) organisation to represent the South African plastic industry’s effort to self-regulate post-consumer polyethylene terephthalate (PET) recycling.
Well done, Team South Africa!
