Weezen® CE receives APR Design® for recyclability recognition

November 1st, 2023

Selenis is pleased to announce they have been formally recognized by the Association of Plastic Recyclers (APR) for meeting the highest criteria for recyclability according to the APR Design® Guide for Plastics Recyclability for Weezen® CE.

The combination of Weezen® CE 102 and Weezen® CE 201 resins, allows for the extrusion of a multilayer heat-shrinkable film that has the ability to crystallize, avoiding clumping issues in the post-consumer PET bottle recycling process. These resins are developed with an innovative chemical composition that guarantees the same characteristics as shrink film produced with PETG, but with the advantage of having proven recyclability in the PET stream.

This offers a sustainable solution for the heat shrink sleeve market, as labels produced with this combination of resins are 100% recyclable, without compromising the shrinkage behavior. Selenis is excited to have received APR Design for Recyclability Recognition for our proprietary solution for a circular economy, showing our commitment to ensuring all packaging is recyclable.  

“Labels can significantly impact the quality of recycled plastics. The APR is pleased to recognize Selenis for their Weezen® CE 102 and Weezen® CE 201 resins for heat shrink sleeve labels,” stated Steve Alexander, APR President, and CEO. “We encourage companies to choose packaging components that have received APR Design® Recognition, which are the gold standard for compatibility with recycling infrastructure, when making design decisions.”

November, 2023

Selenis is pleased to announce they have been formally recognized by the Association of Plastic Recyclers (APR) for meeting the highest criteria for recyclability according to the APR Design® Guide for Plastics Recyclability for Weezen® CE.

The combination of Weezen® CE 102 and Weezen® CE 201 resins, allows for the extrusion of a multilayer heat-shrinkable film that has the ability to crystallize, avoiding clumping issues in the post-consumer PET bottle recycling process. These resins are developed with an innovative chemical composition that guarantees the same characteristics as shrink film produced with PETG, but with the advantage of having proven recyclability in the PET stream.

This offers a sustainable solution for the heat shrink sleeve market, as labels produced with this combination of resins are 100% recyclable, without compromising the shrinkage behavior. Selenis is excited to have received APR Design for Recyclability Recognition for our proprietary solution for a circular economy, showing our commitment to ensuring all packaging is recyclable.

About Magnomer

Magnomer is a startup offering patented coatings technology to help transform normally detrimental to recycling shrink sleeves into recycling preferred design. Magnomer’s Magmark SS coatings add magnetization to shrink sleeves, allowing them to be pulled out and captured during the recycling process by existing magnets. Magmark coatings are transparent and food safe, and print on using just one additional print station at the label converter. No changes to branding or design are necessary and Magmark coatings, an alternative to wash off inks, can be used on PETG or CPET films. Magmark SS has received industry recognition from the Association of Plastic Recyclers (APR) based on commercial scale trials. It has also been pre-qualified by How2Recycle for use on PETG, and can be used in compliance with U.S. Plastics Pact guidelines.
