Siegwerk receives APR recognition for de-inking technology

Siegwerk has developed a proprietary washable ink technology that enables de-inking of UV/ LED-printed PET shrink sleeves allowing for a recycling of the sleeve along with PET bottles. The technology has been accredited as the first UV/ LED solution of its kind by the Association of Plastic Recyclers (APR), the national trade association of the US plastics recycling industry, that meets its guidelines for the quality improvement of recycled PET bottles.
