The Dow Chemical Company is introducing a new member of the recently launched RecycleReady Technology, which enables the recyclability of polyethylene-based barrier packaging as part of existing grocery store drop-off recycling programs. Created through collaboration with the Sustainable Packaging Coalition (SPC) and other industry members, Dow’s RecycleReady Technology helps converters create barrier pouches that answer consumer demand for more recyclable packaging options.

Packaging designers are always looking for new and innovative ways to tackle the waste problem. Biodegradable packaging is a no-brainer: the packaging dissolves overtime, leaving no waste whatsoever. The only problem is, it can’t be used for every type of product.

Biodegradable packaging: the holy grail

This packaging will act as Vial Protect Pack which consists of a protector cup and a shrink tack label to reduce risk of vial-breaking and direct exposure to the content. In case of vial-breaking, the shrink wrap film prevents shattering and splash. Shrink tack label holds the vial and the protector firmly with adhesive; therefore the vial does not slip off. There is no special handling required because the Vial Protect Pack II fits the vial and does not affect the shape or the size of the vial. Existing shrink tack labeler can be used in this pack.
