Albéa has announced that its new extruded mono-material HDPE tube with cap has now been approved by RecyClass (Plastics Recyclers Europe).
 
RecyClass is a cross-industry initiative that works to advance plastic packaging recyclability in Europe through Design for Recycling guidelines. According to Albéa, “This approval proves that our tube+cap is compatible with established, at-scale HDPE bottles recycling stream.”
 
Further, the supplier says this announcement is another major step toward 100% recyclable tubes. Last year Albéa’s Greenleaf 2 laminate tube technology was recognized by both Association of Plastic Recyclers (APR) in the U.S. and RecyClass in Europe.
