VisiPak's RecyclaPak™ packaging tubes are the result of years of research and development along with heavy investment in an innovative patented molding process that allows us to utilize 100% clear PET, the most recyclable grade of clear plastic on the market.
Made from the World's Most Recyclable Plastic
With both end consumers and retailers demanding more environmentally-friendly packaging, the RecyclaPak line of recyclable packaging tubes provide the ideal solution.
Most clear packaging tubes produced today are made from PETG, Propionate, Acrylic or Polycarbonate – materials classified under recycling stream 7. These materials are not easily recycled and often end up in landfills…rather than being reused or recycled.
VisiPak's RecyclaPak packaging tubes are made from PET, the most recycled plastic in the world. It is the material used to produce most of the bottles for water, soda and other beverages as well as many food containers. Most households across the US can set these items in their curbside recycling program. RecyclaPak™ tubes are more likely to be recycled than packages made from other clear plastics.
Mechanically Fused PET Bottoms
RecyclaPak packaging tubes are manufactured using a newly patented molding process that fuses the tubes and bottoms with a mechanical process. The process not only produces a more consistent, higher quality, and air-tight bond, but it requires no harsh chemicals or adhesives.
Plus, while RecyclaPak tubes are made with virgin PET material, virtually all internal scrap can be recycled and used in other VisiPak products, furthering the environmentally friendly nature of this product line.
Recyclable PET Tops
To make the entire RecyclaPak packaging tube easily recyclable, pair these tubes with VisiPak's Clear Poly Plug or Clear Hanger Plug. These plugs are also manufactured from PET material and are 100% recyclable.
Both plugs are stocked in 10 sizes and the hanger style fits both single peg hooks and Euro-peg hooks. When combined with the tubes, the resulting container creates a highly functional, totally clear package that offers a 360º view of its contents.
