Aptar Closures has introduced a new line of fully recyclable flow control dispensing solutions, SimpliCycle.
The new solution can be used for a wide range of products, primarily food and beverage applications such as condiments and sauces.
Aptar Closures said that its new solution has been designed to meet the needs of brand owners who prioritise environmental responsibility and regulatory standards.
The SimpliCycle flow control valve offers precise and hygienic dispensing while its design facilitates mechanical recycling, enhancing the sustainability profile of the solution without compromising performance.
Made using low-density thermoplastic elastomer, SimpliCycle valves are engineered to separate easily from the polyethylene terephthalate (PET) stream during the recycling process.
These valves float to the top, allowing for their subsequent recycling within the polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE) streams.
