Ring Container Technologies, an industry leader in plastic container manufacturing, announced that its BarrierGuard® OxygenSmartTM technology, which is designed to safeguard both product freshness and the environment, has achieved Critical Guidance Recognition from the Association of Plastic Recyclers (APR).
APR's Critical Guidance Recognition, a program for evaluating recyclability in plastic packaging designs, is awarded to companies for solutions that tackle well-established difficulties in sustainable package design. BarrierGuard® OxygenSmartTM met the strict requirements for clear PET resins and molded products, which helps the circularity design of the APR.
BarrierGuard® OxygenSmartTM can be modified to reach up to 24-month shelf life with a variety of items, such as ketchup, other tomato-based sauces, instant coffee, salsas, almonds, and infant food, among others. The technology previously acquired the How2Recycle® "Widely Recycled" designation, indicating widespread acceptance in curbside recycling systems. The barrier technology can use post-consumer recycled content without affecting the barrier's performance.
APR, an international trade association, represents the plastic recycling sector. As a member of the group, Ring Container Technologies is dedicated to the success of plastic recycling.
