EcoShear® – Making Glass Recycling Easy
CCL introduces EcoShear®, a revolutionary adhesive technology developed specifically for single-use glass bottles. Traditional labels can compromise the quality of recycled glass or stick so strongly to the shards that they are rejected during sorting and recycling. In contrast, EcoShear® allows for virtually residue-free removal during the recycling process. This reduces glass waste to just 1.5 kg per ton and significantly increases the yield of high-quality recycled glass.
Lightblocking Sleeves: EcoFloat® WHITE
The new generation of floatable polyolefin sleeves enables a switch from opaque HDPE or PET to transparent PET for yogurt, protein drinks, probiotic beverages, or other lightsensitive products. The light protection barrier is moved from the bottle to the sleeve, and carbon-free inks optimize the PET recycling process. Bottles retain their familiar white look but are now compliant with “design for recycling” standards.
Low Temperature WashOff – Efficiency for Reusable PET Bottles
With Low Temp WashOff, CCL brings its proven WashOff technology for returnable glass to the reusable PET (refPET) market. The labels detach cleanly during washing at temperatures starting from 58 °C and shrink to support the removal process – delivering increased line efficiency and attractive product presentation. A proven, efficient solution for brands using reusable refPET systems.
