The innovation is part of the company’s ongoing sustainable commitment to offering flexible packaging solutions that are recyclable.

Duralite R shrink film range is intended for secondary applications and can be used for multi-pack of cans and bottles.

Coveris Films business unit president Martin Davis said: “The development and launch of our new Duralite R film marks a major step forward in the development of sustainable plastics for a circular economy.

“Complementing our existing range of environmental films such as our recyclable PE for direct contact, the development of a fully recyclable, recycled secondary material that utilises our own waste stream and delivers a reduced carbon footprint supports both our own environmental goals and those of our customers, as well as meeting legislative targets on recycled content.”
