RecyClass has recognised the compatibility of Aptar's SimpliCycle valve for PP, PET and HDPE recycling streams in Europe. The valve offers companies a hygienic and controlled product dispenser and now also contributes to their sustainability goals.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Aptar Food + Beverage<\/a>\u00a0reported that it has received approval for its SimpliCycle TPE-S valve from RecyClass as fully compatible with polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PET), and high-density polyethylene (HDPE) recycling streams<\/strong>. RecyClass is a non-profit, cross-industry initiative facilitating the transition towards a circular plastic economy. The organisation published Design for Recycling Guidelines and conducts evaluations of a variety of products in partnership with independent laboratories to assess the product's ability to be recycled.<\/p>

The SimpliCycle valve previously received European PET Bottle Platform (EPBP) Endorsement for full compatibility with RecyClass Guidelines for PET stream, and now has also received full compatibility approval for recyclability in PP and HDPE streams. SimpliCycle valves will be commercially available globally at the end of 2022 and the company is a member of RecyClass and active in its technical committees.<\/p>

\u201cIn addition to Critical Guidance Recognition from the Association of Plastic Recyclers (APR) in North America, we now have those same approvals from the leading European organisation for evaluating plastic recyclability. The Design for Recyclability Guidelines for these two important organisations have been increasingly adopted around the globe. These approvals are evidence of Aptar's continued dedication to bringing more sustainable products to market in collaboration with our customers to enable them to meet their sustainability goals. This is good news for brands, fillers, recyclers and consumers, all of whom are looking for plastic packaging to be more in line with a circular economy.\u201d<\/p>

SimpliCycle is made from a low-density material<\/strong>, If used in a closure on a PET bottle, when collected with the bottle in the PET recycling stream, the valve floats in the recycling tanks, allowing it to be easily separated from the PET flakes and then recycled right along with the polyolefin's streams. If used in a closure on a PP bottle, when collected with the bottle, the closure goes directly into the PP recycling stream and is fully compatible as now approved by RecyClass.<\/p>

When assembled into an Aptar closure, the SimpliCycle valve provides a fully recyclable and high-performance solution for use with either PET, PP or HDPE containers<\/strong>. SimpliCycle was recently honoured to be awarded the best CSR\/Sustainability initiative in 2021 by World Food Innovation Awards and in 2022 received the prestigious 2022 WorldStar Global Packaging Award for packaging innovation as well as the 2022 AmeriStar Award in the Sustainable Packaging category.<\/p>
