21 Feb 2022 --- Paccor is unveiling caps with a minimum 30% recycled HDPE (rHDPE) for dairy products in line with the upcoming UK Plastic Packaging Tax. The tax requires at least 30% recycled plastic in all plastic packaging from April 2022. However, the company’s production team in Mansfield, UK, faced significant challenges meeting the minimum 30% mark. The post-consumer recycled material has “a different nature” to virgin polymer, but this technical obstacle was overcome through Paccor’s Continuous Compression Molding technology.
