The washable inks of the rPET bottle’s c-pet sleeve make it an easily recyclable monomaterial that can also incorporate innovations in the recycling process, such as a digital watermark that allows for accurate detection during sorting.
The bottle produced by the innovative start up “BTC Concept” has a high-quality shelf impact thanks to the high opacity white sleeve which gives more visual "body" to the design and enables a non-coloured bottle to give both high quality shelf impact whilst being 100% recycling friendly under the correct reprocessing conditions. The different finishes, such as Soft Touch or Matt Effect, make the product even more attractive and demonstrate the endless possibilities when printing the sleeve.
Uncoloured bottles will be a good source of high quality recyclate for the future and this sleeve solution is the ideal complement for any type of transparent bottle. The production process is realised on the Karlville machines after the sleeve has been processed in Emsur with washable inks and coatings from Siegwerk and C-Pet shrink film from SK microworks.
