Greif, Inc., a global leader in industrial packaging products and services, has developed a carbon black free plastic screw cap for its jerrycans in response to the black plastic recycling challenge. It will be available through Greif’s global closures business, Tri-Sure.
Undetectable by recycling facilities using near-infrared (NIR) technology, conventional black plastics containing carbon black colorants are challenging to recycle and often end up in landfills. The new packaging material uses an alternative black color that does not contain carbon.
