Mono-material and design for recycling

Redesigning multilayer pouches, sleeves and caps so a package is made of one recyclable plastic, following recycler design guides.

Many packages cannot be recycled only because different plastics are laminated together. All-PE pouches, wash-off labels and clear rather than coloured PET make the same package recyclable. The Association of Plastic Recyclers Design Guide and EU recyclability rules set the benchmarks.
