Are Shrink Sleeves
Environmentally Friendly?

Let’s break this down!

Shrink Sleeves use shrink-to-fit technology, so no adhesives are used which makes separation from the container extremely easy – and yes, more environmentally friendly. As a customer and consumer, what are your options?

The use of PET means you have a strong yet lightweight material that can be recycled without separation from the bottle, essentially mimicking the one-substrate format. There is also Low-density PET which is a clean and safe plastic film that separates well in commercialized recycling plants. One of the easiest options is Zipper Perforation, because as the name denotes, the plastic separates from the bottle easily by means of a perforated zipper. Finally, we have the option of Compostable film made from renewable resources and break down as expected in commercialized composting plants.
