바카라사이트 소닉 Chemical developed shrinkable labels for PET with enhanced recyclability

■ Korea’s first ‘Shrinkable Multilayered Polyolefin Label and Ingredient Production Technology for 바카라사이트 소닉 Recycling’ acquires NET certificate from the Ministry of Trade,
Industry, and Energy’s Korean Agency for Technology and Standards.
■ The label is easily separated from the 바카라사이트 소닉 bottles for simple 바카라사이트 소닉 recycling process… Expected to raise the recycling rate of 바카라사이트 소닉 bottles.
■ Mutual cooperation with partners to support processing technologies and supply ingredients for partners’ 바카라사이트 소닉 capacities.

바카라사이트 소닉 Chemical has developed shrinkable labels for PET bottles that satisfy the highest level of convenience for PET recycling.

바카라사이트 소닉 Chemical supports the development of ingredients and processing technologies, while 바카라사이트 소닉 Aluminum prints, produces, and evaluates the labels and Dongil Chemical Industries produces the films. The three companies have jointly developed shrinkable labels since last year and acquired last 29th the NET certificate from the Ministry of Trade, Industry, and Energy’s Korean Agency for Technology and Standards for ‘Shrinkable Multilayered Polyolefin Label and Ingredient Production Technology for PET Recycling’.

There are two types of 바카라사이트 소닉 labels: attachable and shrinkable. The newly developed shrinkable labels for 바카라사이트 소닉 bottles are non-attachable with the specific gravity below 1. When the wasted 바카라사이트 소닉 bottles are pulverized and cleaned, the 바카라사이트 소닉 bottles sink in water while the shrinkable labels float on the surface for easy separation.

The labels have less strength than the existing shrinkable labels do, so they are expected to be easier to remove through perforation and accelerate the 바카라사이트 소닉 recycling process to increase the recycling rate of 바카라사이트 소닉 bottles.

바카라사이트 소닉 bottles use labels for food information, but it is not easy to recycle the 바카라사이트 소닉 bottles if they are not removed. Nowadays label-less water bottles are available, but labels are still needed for other beverages as it is required to indicate food information under the food-related laws and regulations.

“The newly developed shrinkable labels are expected to further contribute to the recycling of PET bottles,” said CEO Hwang Jin-koo of 바카라사이트 소닉 Chemical’s Basic Materials Division. “We will continue to cooperate with our partners to expand the development of eco-friendly products.”

Additionally, LOTTE Chemical is working on projects to create an 바카라사이트 소닉 setting for its partners and strengthen their capacities. Last year, there were 24 cases of joint technology development projects and more than 9,000 materials were analyzed for material properties by providing the research facilities and equipment to resolve the small/medium partners’ difficulties with development of raw materials due to the lack of equipment and facilities.
