The Newz Biz Team, Pune<\/strong><\/p>\n

EPL Limited\u00a0(formerly known as Essel Propack Limited), the world\u2019s largest specialty packaging company, has received global recognition from the\u00a0Association of Plastic Recyclers (APR),\u00a0USA\u00a0for its\u00a0Platina Tube with an HDPE closure.<\/p>\n

EPL\u2019s Platina is the first fully sustainable and completely recyclable tube in the world, including shoulder and cap, to get this recognition.\u00a0It\u00a0is the only tube to have an\u00a0integrated shoulder INNER BARRIER LINER (IBL) that is also recyclable in HDPE recycle stream. This is a big step forward as it allows the total tube to be recycled in a single recycle stream.<\/p>\n

APR\u00a0maintains exacting\u00a0standards for\u00a0certification. Platina went through a rigorous test and qualification process for more than 3 months before the results were announced. Platina is an eco-friendly laminated tube\u00a0produced with less than 5% barrier resin, and has earlier received recognition from the APR, USA,\u00a0for consistently meeting or exceeding the most stringent APR HDPE Critical Guidance criteria.<\/p>\n

After use, the Platina tubes and caps can be recycled in the dominant #2 plastic stream used across the globe for recycling Milk Cans, Juice bottles etc. Use of HDPE in Platina and GML tubes increases the stiffness of the tubes, enabling\u00a0EPL to reduce\u00a0polymer content and\u00a0in turn help\u00a0users to deliver on their sustainability commitments.<\/p>\n

The Platina range of HDPE tubes are designed to deliver source reduction and recyclability without the loss of any barrier properties. This allows for sustained product stability and durable shelf life of the packed content. Platina tube is especially suited for oral, toiletries, and food brands. Platina tubes and caps were also certified as 100% recyclable by\u00a0RecyClass European\u00a0certification for \u2018Code 2\u2019 (recycling) earlier, making\u00a0them\u00a0the only speciality packaging tubes and caps to be recognised as 100% recyclable, globally.<\/p>\n

Sudhanshu Vats, MD & CEO EPL\u00a0said, \u201cSustainability is a key area of focus for us and we constantly endeavour towards achieving it. We are extremely delighted to receive this recognition from APR, and this will motivate us to develop more innovative and sustainable solutions and consciously reduce our carbon footprint. This showcases our strong R&D capabilities,\u00a0underlining EPL\u2019s\u00a0global position as one of the world\u2019s leading innovative packaging manufacturers with\u00a0the\u00a0highest standards of sustainability, resource efficiency and recycling\/reuse (PCR)\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will\u00a0encourage and enable our customers to convert\u00a0to this packaging format;\u00a0helping them to meet their sustainability commitments faster.\u201d\u00a0he added.<\/p>\n

Hariharan K. Nair, Vice President, Creativity and Innovation, said \u201cThis is a big achievement for us at EPL. Sustainable solutions is a key focus area for us and we are striving towards achieving this objective across product lines. A first-in-the-world tag makes us proud and is a testament to our disciplined and creative work ethic.\u00a0Recycling helps the environment and\u00a0even as it\u00a0creates new economic opportunities, as recycled products can be made into new goods. Recycling helps still-useful materials prevent clogging up landfills and helps reduce fossil fuel consumption.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
