APR, RecyClass Work To Align Design For Recycling Guidance The Association of Plastic Recyclers (APR) recently an- nounced updates to the APR Design Guide for Plastic Recyclability to align with RecyClass, the European based non-profit initiative focused on advancing plastics circular- ity. The APR Design Guide will now state that 6 percent of EVOH is allowed for HDPE containers. Through their respective technical committees, APR and RecyClass are accelerating global alignment of recy- clability principles. In these groups, scientific data, gath- ered based on standardized testing protocols, is shared and serves as the base for discussions on uncovering the complexities of plastic packaging. In addition to guidance on the use of EVOH in HDPE containers, guidance on the use of EVOH in PP containers have also been streamlined through this collaboration. This activity is part of a continued effort between APR and RecyClass to reinforce their collaboration to drive worldwide harmonization of recyclability for all plastic packaging types, through a shared vision of science-based design for recycling guidelines and protocols for recy- clability assessments. This partnership will drive a unified, fact-based ap- proach to recyclability, and bring clarity to the whole value chain.

Designed with input from HP Indigo experts, our Parts Washer (model number A-44213-A) was created specifically to clean parts from HP Indigo digital presses. It speeds productivity through an extra long flush hose for direct hands-free flushing of press parts. The Graymills abrasive resistant pump, twin filtration system, and rugged power-coated steel construction are up to the challenge of cleaning with imaging oil. DOES AN HP INDIGO NEED ITS OWN PARTS WASHER? They Thought So.
