Huhtamaki and Klöckner Pentaplast (kp) have joined their collective packaging expertise forces to develop a, first to market, truly recyclable blister packaging solution with Huhtamaki’s Push Tab® blister lid and kp’s, kpNext™ R1. When used together, kpNext™ R1 blister film and Push Tab® blister lid, a 100% mono PET solution available with push and peel opening options, create a certified recyclable blister packaging solution within the RIC 1 recycling stream. Both Push Tab® blister lid and kpNext R1 films utilize a unique PET base solution that is readily recyclable with other #1 PET products. A big advantage for brands and converters is running Push Tab® and kpNext™ R1 films with the same output on their production lines. Too often sustainable options require a sacrifice of slower machine speeds and costly new tooling. This sustainable option is a drop in place, plug-and-play solution allowing immediate use with no additional investment.
