FLEXcon has launched optiFLEX ecoFOCUS, a new line of eco-friendly packaging products for primary labeling applications that enable the recyclability of PET containers. 

Offering sustainability and performance for labeling applications such as food and beverage, health and beauty, and household chemical, FLEXcon optiFLEX ecoFOCUS features FLEXcon’s new V-52RE adhesive, which is designed to remove cleanly during the PET recycling process. In addition, the 1.2 mil TRACrite release liner contains up to 60% post-industrial recycled content, minimizing the carbon footprint further.

“The V-52RE adhesive system is designed to separate from the PET flake during the recycling process, allowing for the collection of the rPET so that it can be used to create new PET containers or other items,” says Melissa David, product manager at FLEXcon. “The goal was to meet the demands of consumer brands for more environmentally friendly packaging solutions without sacrificing performance, and optiFLEX ecoFOCUS fits the bill for such an eco-friendly packaging option.”

The line is comprised of polypropylene films in clear, white and silver with a robust topcoat compatible with multiple print methods. The V-52RE adheres well to PET containers, offering a minimum application temperature of 20°F/-6.6°C, and is compliant with FDA 175.105 for indirect food contact.
