Low-density, multi-layer shrink sleeve film enables seamless end-of-life separation
Sealed Air ShrinksPET recycling concerns with new Cryovac®LT-1 shrink sleeve label
Sealed Air (sealedair.com) has expanded its presence in the shrink label market with the unveiling of its new Cryovac® LT-1 shrink sleeve label, among the first in the industry with a density lower than the 1g/cc standard which guides polyethylene terephthalate (PET) recycling. The labels are composed of a multi-layer polymer-based film to provide 360-degree, form-fitting bottle coverage while enhancing sustainability and performance.
Featuring a density of 0.95 g/cc, Cryovac LT-1 shrink sleeve labels easily separate and float from source PET bottles once they reach the recycling process. This reduces contamination during recycling and enables greater bottle recycling efficiencies.
