Printpack: Polyolefin shrink label aids recycling

Sample properties of one such substrate has a density below 0.97, 94-98% removal in IR sorting, up to 60% shrink, and a cost comparable to PETG.

EcoSkin’s density-specific gravity of less than 1.0, allows it to float during the separation process.  This reduces potential contamination and allows for the optimum collection of recyclable plastic.
In addition to insuring compatibility with recycling, EcoSkin offers several sustainability benefits including source reduction and a lower environmental footprint, without compromising performance or increased material cost. 

With a shrink percentage of 60%, EcoSkin conforms to a broad range of container shapes and sizes.  It also features quality performance in printing and high-speed application.
