EPL Receives Highest RecyClass Recognition for Innovative Tube Material Etain™ rPE

Environmentally friendly: EtainTM rPE tube material fully recyclable and classified in class A at RecyClass

EPL Europe, part of the global laminate and plastic tube manufacturer, has received another significant recognition in the field of sustainability. RecyClass, a leading initiative to promote and assess the recyclability of plastic packaging in Europe, has officially certified the innovative tube material Etain rPE with an HDPE closure. This recognition confirms that EPL's packaging is sorted in the HDPE rigid stream/'Code 2' and has achieved the highest RecyClass rating “Class A”.
The analysis and certification were carried out in compliance with the Design for Recycling Guidelines for HDPE Rigid. This once again makes EPL a pioneer in the development of its own sustainable and recognized packaging solutions.

The Etain rPE tubes are ideal for customers in the FMCG market, particularly for the cosmetics, household and oral hygiene segments, due to their material composition and are available with various sustainable closure options. They offer companies the opportunity to convert their product lines to more environmentally friendly packaging and thus make an important contribution to the circular economy. EPL is committed to continuous innovation and optimization of material properties to ensure the highest standards of recyclability.
