Sidel Actis (Amorphous Carbon Treatment on Internal Surface) is a pioneering plasma coating technology applied inside PET bottles to provide extended shelf life while enhancing significant lightweighting.The coating technology is deposited inside a PET bottle and used to improve barrier protection for packaging carbonated soft drinks (CSDs), beer and oxygen sensitive beverages like juices or teas.
Leading sustainability criteria
“At Sidel we place a high priority on recyclability in designing our packaging material. Ensuring full circularity of our packaging material without compromising on the quality of the post-consumer recycled material,” comments Naima Boutroy, Global Packaging Expert at Sidel.
Actis bottles are already recyclable and approved in the European recycling streams for food grade bottle-to-bottle. The APR Design® for Recyclability Recognition is a testament to the Actis bottles’ design for circularity.
