The Association of Plastic Recyclers (APR) has granted Critical Guidance Recognition to Polyplastics USA for high-gloss HDPE containers with 20 per cent cyclic olefin copolymer (Topas 8007F-600) outer layer. The APR recognition demonstrates that Polyplasticsâ Topas COC is compatible with the HDPE recycle stream.
To meet the packaging industryâs demands for a circular economy, Polyplastics is developing necessary data to support industry-wide sustainability efforts. The APRâs Critical Guidance Recognition follows Topas COCâs certification last year as a recyclable material by the European independent testing lab, Institut cyclos-HTP.
In Europe, Topas materials are reported to be the first cyclic olefin resins in the industry to be deemed recyclable with PE and PP for film and injection moulding uses.
