The American cardboard manufacturer Graphic Packaging continues to develop alternative solutions to plastic packaging. After the launch a few weeks ago of ProducePack In early March, it introduced Cap-It, a solution designed to "help beverage consumers switch from plastic to paper".
Made from recyclable flatboard, Cap-It is a tie with neck rings for polyethylene terephthalate (PET) or recycled polyethylene terephthalate (rPET) bottles. The fastener made from renewable materials is an alternative to traditional shrink-wrap packaging, increasing the overall recyclability of the package to 100 percent, the group says.
