SHAPE360® TDSW enables the application of opaque white labels to clear PET bottles, improving print quality with its glossy finish while still supporting the reuse of PET bottle material in the bottle-to-bottle recycling.
A key feature of SHAPE360® TDSW is its inherent floatability, achieved through its low density. This characteristic facilitates efficient separation of polyolefin (PO) label flakes from rigid PET bottle flakes during the recycling process, resulting in cleaner PET recyclate and a substantial reduction in plastic waste. Furthermore, the film is designed for high ink adhesion, preventing ink bleeding during recycling and ensuring optimal recyclate purity.
When used on PE containers, the labels and containers are part of a single PO compatible recycling stream.
