Aptar will demonstrate its commitment to sustainability by showing new innovations such as tethering, linerless, and recyclable valve solutions; certifications such as ISCC+, partnerships with PureCycle, REBO, MIWA, and others; and active collaboration with key organisations, such as RecyClass, WRAP, APR, and WBCSD.
At the show, Aptar will feature its next-generation Rocket sports cap, a tethered solution that redefines the standard for non-detachable, tamper evident visibility, featuring a wide opening angle for drinking comfort. Rocket is fully compliant with the upcoming European directive regarding tethered closures for single-use plastics scheduled to take effect in mid-2024.
As the industry leader in providing flow control dispensing solutions for more than 25 years, Aptar’s SimpliCycle recyclable valve is driving sustainability to the forefront of packaging innovation. Made from a low-density material, the valve floats in the recycling tanks, allowing it to be easily separated from the PET stream, and then recycled right along with the PP/PE stream. When assembled into an Aptar closure, the SimpliCycle TPE valve provides a fully recyclable and high-performance solution for use with PET, PE, or PP containers. SimpliCycle was recently awarded the best CSR/Sustainability initiative in 2021 by World Food Innovation Awards and in 2022 received the prestigious 2022 WorldStar Global Packaging Award for packaging innovation.
Aptar Food + Beverage will also showcase new concepts for pouring liquid beverages, including a prototype of the new Blue EVO Cap, as well as solutions for dispensing beverages in an inverted pouch format. As a leader in dispensing solutions, Aptar is committed to improving the overall recyclability of plastic packaging and is dedicated to helping brands achieve their environmental goals with high-performance solutions, while making a positive impact in the lives of consumers and the planet.
