The project will be showcased at Labelexpo Americas 2024, September 10-12 in Rosemont, Illinois. Multi-Plastics, a key contributor to the project, provid- ed its Envirocycle 30 percent post-consumer recyclate PET shrink sleeve film essential for the structural integrity of the recyclable English Mountain Spring Water Compa- ny water bottle. Siegwerk’s CIRKIT deinking primer tech- nology, combined with SICURA Orbis ink technology, has been utilized to wash off in combination with deinking primer, and it was instrumental in ensuring the bottle’s recyclability. Tripack’s expertise in application technology enabled the seamless integration of PET shrink sleeves onto PET bottles, establishing a sustainable packaging solution that prioritizes efficiency and eco-consciousness. The shrink sleeves were printed using a PET film with 30 percent post-consumer recyclate. This collaboration created this shrink sleeve label based on the APR ap- proved design guidelines. This included shrink sleeve ma- terial and inks that meet the APR standards for preferred design recognition.
