Standard black polyethylene terephthalate (PET) packaging poses several challenges for the recycling value chain.

Thanks to its unique composition, the final hotmelt adhesive manufactured by Henkel allows for a smooth first opening while maintaining desired reopening and reclosure properties on amorphous polyethylene terephthalate (APET) and polyolefin trays - even after multiple repetitions. Henkel found this solution to be more advantageous than previously used technologies.

High-speed, fault-free, resource-efficient filling can now be achieved on beverage can lines with limited space thanks to a new solution developed in partnership by H.F. Meyer Maschinenbau GmbH & Co. KG, Domino Deutschland GmbH, and HEUFT SYSTEMTECHNIK GMBH.
