Polyplastics USA has been awarded Key Guidance recognition by the Association of Plastics Recyclers (APR) for its flexible multilayer films for stand-up pouches
.
The APR approval shows that Polyplastics' Topas copolymers are compatible with PE film recycling streams
.
Bags are made from four grades of 15.
5% or less Topas Cyclic Olefin Copolymer (COC)
.
To support the packaging industry's move toward a circular economy, Polyplastics is actively developing the data necessary to support industry-wide sustainability efforts
.
APR's approval is based on the technical recyclability of multilayer films (including COC content) and PE films
.
The film meets or exceeds APR's FPE-CG091 Key Guidance Protocol for Polyethylene Films and Flexible Packaging
.
This allows businesses to confidently use COCs to improve the performance of recyclable products
.
The new approval follows APR's key guidance for high-gloss HDPE containers using a 20% cyclic olefin copolymer TOPAS 8007F-600 outer layer
.
Paul Tatarka, Market Development Manager, Polyplastics USA, commented: "COC is a highly efficient material option as a strategic ingredient for addressing a wide range of sustainability needs today
.
Discrete COC layers in multilayer structures can be Effective design options for recycling flexible films, especially stand-up bags
