Aptar Closures' SimpliCycle valve is designed for brand owners seeking to enhance packaging sustainability without sacrificing precise, hygienic product dispensing and consumer satisfaction.
SimpliCycle streamlines mechanical recycling, the company says. Comprised of low-density thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), the valves float during the recycling sorting process, separating them from the polyethylene terephthalate (PET) stream; from there, they are recycled in the polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE) stream. When assembled into a compatible Aptar closure, SimpliCycle creates a recyclable solution for use with PET, PE or PP containers.
