en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Swiss Neopac Group announced that its PaperX FibreTop paper tube has been certified by the PTS Institute as technically recyclable in traditional paper streams, meeting the requirements of the CEPI/4evergreen 2025 recyclability protocol.
The assessment is based on the latest CEPI recyclability laboratory test methods, combined with the recycling plant processes for traditional methods and the 4evergreen fiber-based packaging recyclability evaluation protocol. The tested paper tube is made from laminated paper with an ultra-thin PE-EVOH inner coating and an outer dispersion layer. The results show that the entire paper tube, including the flat tube shoulder and paper closure, meets the minimum standards for disintegration, screening yield, optical purity, and adhesive separation.
Neopac pointed out that even low-profile paper closures can achieve a sufficient proportion of recyclable paper, and there is room for optimization for other designs. The certification is based on the CEPI appendix for double-sided coated materials, aiming to enhance the sustainability of packaging. This paper tube can be applied in the cosmetics and personal care product sectors.
In the packaging industry, sustainable solutions continue to evolve. Last year, TUBEX introduced an applicator tube made entirely from recycled aluminum, specifically designed for beauty products. The MonoSense applicator tube is available in various sizes and is made from 95% post-consumer and 5% post-industrial recycled aluminum. Additionally, Veritiv's Helicot paper tube is made from over 80% paper and biodegradable PHA, offering both recyclable and compostable properties.
Neopac's paper tube certification marks a new advancement in traditional recycling technology, helping to reduce environmental impact and align with global trends in the circular economy for packaging. This innovation is expected to encourage more companies to adopt similarly certified environmentally friendly packaging.
