Polyester lidding provides recyclability, source reduction benefits

StreamOne offers a lidding alternative for medical, pharmaceutical, and food applications.
By Jim Butschli,
Rollprint Packaging Products’ StreamOne™ replaces traditional mixed-polymer laminates without sacrificing performance when sealing to PET or polyethylene terephthalate trays. Material is made entirely from polyester, so it can be recycled in the number “1” stream, along with the tray. Traditional laminated combinations can only go in the “7” or “other” stream.
