The announcement was made at the recent APR Annual Meeting in Nashville.

During the PET bottle recycling process, polyester shrink sleeve labels that remain with the bottle are ground into flake and sink along with the PET bottle flake. FENC TopGreen film creates negligible clumping and IV drop, both of which are detrimental to the value of the recycled PET plastic.

Klear Plastic Ventures will work with its customers and ink suppliers to promote the use of TopGreen film with washable and non-staining ink systems, to provide a more complete recycling product.
