CLEANFLAKE™ LABELS: SUSTAINABLE AND EYE-CATCHING

Maximize Curbside Recycling and Shelf Appeal with CleanFlake Labels.

CleanFlake labels enhance your product’s presentation while making recycling simpler for the end user, thanks to its special adhesive technology. End-users can leave the label on the packaging without having to worry about it contaminating the recycling stream.

 

WHY IT MATTERS

The labels on-plastic bottles and containers can contaminate recycling and reduce the quality of recycled plastic. 

  • CleanFlake labels solve this issue by detaching cleanly during PET recycling or staying with HDPE without affecting its quality.  
  • This makes recycling easier for the end user. They can throw the bottle in their recycling bin without having to remove the label.

  

EASY CURBSIDE RECYCLING FOR YOUR END USERS

Labels can affect the PET and HDPE recycling process in different ways. Fortunately, CleanFlake technology works well for both of these main types of plastic packaging.

 

CLEANFLAKE ENABLES RECYCLING FOR BOTH PET AND HDPE CONTAINERS:

 

PET Containers: 

  • How most labels contaminate PET recycling: Labels need to detach during the PET recycling process to prevent contamination. If they stay on, adhesive residue can lower the quality of recycled PET (rPET).
  • CleanFlake Solution: CleanFlake labels separate cleanly from PET containers during recycling, ensuring high-quality rPET without impurities from adhesive. 


HDPE Containers:

  • How most labels contaminate HDPE recycling: Labels that fragment or detach can mix with the recycled plastic, lowering its quality.
  • CleanFlake Solution: CleanFlake labels stay attached to HDPE containers during the recycling process, preventing label fragments from getting into the recycled materials.
   

 

CLEANFLAKE MAKES IT SIMPLE:

Thanks to CleanFlake’s ability to eliminate label contamination for both PET and HDPE containers, your end users can recycle your product packaging worry free.
