rPET (recycled PET), it offers high shelf appeal and a clearer view of the contents – unlike thicker polypropylene or crystallised PET (cPET) hot fill containers, which are typically opaque. It is available in four recycled content blends, from 30% to 100%. Branding and recycling information are displayed via a patented ‘clip on’ decoration, allowing easy and correct sepa- ration and recycling. “Our new TamperVis- ible Hot Fill line makes no trade-offs – we combine food safety and hot packag- ing performance with recycled materials,” said Eduardo Gomes, managing director at Waddington Europe.
Mono-material PET AMB of Italy has developed TotalMono PET – mono materials for use in thermoformed MAP packaging applications. The PET top and bottom film solutions offer high barrier protection for sensitive foods. The ability to reduce thickness leads to a wide range of possible
gauges – and weight reduction without affecting performance. AMB base and rigid
films are available at all standard gauges from 200my to 800my with a low or high barrier and including a possible downgauge from APET/ PE. Lid films are available at gauges from 37my up to 60my – with a low or high
barrier function. All barriers are
non-EVOH, as EVOH has a negative impact on PET recycling stream. A further feature of these films is
their seal strength. They offer a lower seal initiation temperature and the ability to
adjust sealing temperature compared to multi- layer solutions. Sealing is provided by a lacquer – which also acts as an antifog, so there is no need for antifog lacquering. Despite downgauging, the material offers robust tear resistance during processing, says AMB.
