APET cycle films

APET cycle films. Sustainable packaging solutions from RETAL Baltic Films are moving forward with our new APET cycle, produced of  25% or 30% chemically recycled resin (NEOPET CYCLE). Developed in collaboration with NEO GROUP, APET cycle films are offering excellent transparency and a gloss finish just like virgin PET film.

APET (Amorphous Polyethylene Terephthalate) cycle films are a type of plastic film material made from PET resin. These films are designed for specific applications where properties like clarity, strength, and heat resistance are required. “Cycle films” usually refers to films that are designed for a recycling cycle, meaning they can be reused or recycled after their initial use. Here’s more information about APET cycle films and their common uses:

1. Clarity: APET is known for its excellent optical clarity. It provides a clear, transparent view of the products or items it covers, making it suitable for packaging where visibility of the contents is essential. This clarity makes it a popular choice for packaging items like food, electronics, and consumer goods.

2. Strength and Durability: APET films are strong and have good impact resistance. This strength makes them suitable for applications where the packaging needs to protect the contents from damage during transportation and handling.

3. Heat Resistance: APET films can withstand moderate heat, which is important in applications where the film might be exposed to heat during sealing or other processes.

4. Recyclability: APET is a recyclable material. This is where the term “cycle films” comes into play. After their initial use, APET cycle films can be collected, processed, and recycled into new products or films, contributing to sustainability efforts.

Common Uses:

APET cycle films are used in a variety of applications, including:

  1. Food Packaging: APET films are commonly used to package food products like fresh produce, bakery items, and deli meats due to their clarity and ability to protect food.
  2. Electronics Packaging: The clarity and protective properties of APET make it suitable for packaging electronics and gadgets.
  3. Consumer Goods Packaging: APET cycle films are used for packaging various consumer goods, including toys, cosmetics, and personal care products.
  4. Medical Packaging: These films are also used in the medical industry for packaging items like medical devices and pharmaceuticals.
  5. Blister Packaging: APET films are often used in blister packaging, where products are displayed in a clear plastic cavity sealed to a backing card.
  6. Thermoforming: APET can be thermoformed into various shapes, making it useful for creating custom packaging designs.

In summary, APET cycle films are a type of plastic film known for their clarity, strength, and heat resistance. They find applications in a wide range of industries, especially where visibility of the packaged product and recyclability are important considerations.
