Organization Tests Plastics For Recycling

Plastic Technologies Inc. (PTI) offers recycling stream impact-testing services for polyethylene terephthalate (PET) containers (including resins, additives, adhesives and labels).

Plastic Technologies Inc. (PTI) offers recycling stream impact-testing services for polyethylene terephthalate (PET) containers (including resins, additives, adhesives and labels). PTI is one of only two U.S. companies approved by the Association of Postconsumer Plastic Recyclers (APR) to provide testing services in conjunction with the organization’s critical guidance documents. The voluntary screening guidelines help companies understand the approximate effect that their material or container might have on the quality of the rPET stream. APR’s objective is to enhance the quality and quantity of postconsumer plastic packaging materials.

“The only way for brand owners to really be able to claim that their package is fully recyclable and meets APR guidelines is to subject it to testing that can support their position,” said Frank Schloss, vice president, PTI.
