How heat-seal lacquers can contribute to the sustainability of packaging
Increasing recycling rates and the resulting different product qualities of recycled materials face packaging manufacturers with new challenges. Our ACTEseal® products are also suitable for sealing partners made of recycled aluminum and are thus able to compensate for variations in the quality of sealing partners. In this way, our products can help increase the use of circular materials in packaging and thus make a valuable contribution to greater sustainability.

PVC is not only a controversial issue in the packaging industry. Aluminum coffee capsules coated with PVC-containing films are more difficult to recycle than PVC-free systems. Under the ACTEseal® brand, we now also offer a portfolio of PVC-free heat-seal lacquers that contribute to improving the recyclability of coffee capsules.
