Recognized by both the Association of Plastic Recyclers (APR) through the Critical Guidance Path program and by RecyClass Technology Approval for clear bottle-to-bottle PET recycling applications, O2Blox™ reflects Plastipak’s commitment to delivering high-performance packaging solutions designed to work within existing PET recycling systems.
O2Blox™ is engineered to provide oxygen barrier protection while maintaining compatibility with the PET recycling stream. Plastipak helps reduce disruption in recycling processes and supports the production of high-quality recycled material.
Designed for performance across key applications
O2Blox™ is ideal for oxygen-sensitive products where freshness, shelf life, and brand integrity are critical. Applications include juices, ketchup, salad dressings and functional beverages, categories where barrier performance must work seamlessly with recyclability goals.
The technology delivers the product protection brands expect while supporting circular economy objectives.
Plastipak has scaled O2Blox commercially with Eckes-Granini Group, to bring O2Blox™ to market at commercial scale. The collaboration demonstrates how we work closely with customers to deliver packaging that protects product quality while supporting recyclability and circular economy goals.
Key benefits include:
- Nylon-free PET oxygen barrier technology
- Recognition by APR for Design for Plastics Recyclability
- Recognition by RecyClass
- Designed to work within existing PET recycling systems
- Maintains performance without compromising recyclability
- Supports up to 100% post-consumer recycled PET (PCR) and bottle-to-bottle recycling
This innovation builds on Plastipak’s legacy of developing visually compelling, performance-driven packaging solutions that meet evolving customer and regulatory expectations worldwide.
