After its recognition by RecyClass (Plastics Recyclers Europe) last year, the American version of the HDPE single-material tube and cap has just been officially recognized by the Association of Plastic Recyclers (APR). The tube is now compatible with HDPE bottle recycling channels.
"Making all our tubes ready to be recycled is the first step on the road to circularity," says Gilles Swyngedauw, Vice President CSR and Innovation at Albéa. "This official recognition will now accelerate the process by enabling brands to transition their portfolios and helping them deliver on their public sustainability commitments."
This tube consists of a white lightweight structure, mono-material and assembled to one shoulder also in HDPE. The cap is a single-material service capsule from a patented technology, using a blown extruded HDPE reference. The tube is compatible with the Greenleaf 2 laminated tube.
