With SimpliCycle, the company presents a recyclable valve that puts sustainability at the centre of packaging innovation. As the valve is made of a material with a lower density, it floats on top in the recycling tank<\/strong> and can be easily removed from the PET stream and then recycled together with the PP\/PE material. When the SimpliCycle TPE valve is installed in an Aptar closure, the customer receives a fully recyclable closure. Recyclable and high-performance solution for use in PET, PE and PP containers<\/strong>. SimpliCycle was recently recognised as the best CSR\/sustainability initiative of 2021 at the World Food Innovation Awards. This year, the product received the prestigious 2022 WorldStar Global Packaging Award for packaging innovation.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
