Global packaging manufacturer Plastipak recently announced that its O2Blox™ nylon-free PET oxygen barrier technology has received industry recognition.
The technology helps maintain the performance required for food and beverage packaging while remaining compatible with existing PET recycling systems. It has also received recognition from the Association of Plastic Recyclers (APR) and RecyClass.
