Two new shrink sleeve label films from UPM Raflatac Inc. are receiving “critical guidance recognition” from the Association of Plastic Recyclers, the company said.
This recognition — essentially a thumbs up from the trade group that the films can be recycled — is for the UPM Raflatac's undecorated RafShrink PO MDO 40 LS and RafShrink PO TDO 45 HS shrink sleeve films, the company reports.
“The APR recognition of our two new shrink sleeve films emphasizes our commitment to support the recyclability of plastic packaging, and sustainability in general,” says Erkki Nyberg, director of shrink sleeve films at UPM Raflatac, in a statement. “We continue to grow our product portfolio to meet the requirements of various shrink sleeve label application technologies used by global brand owners to showcase their products.”
