19 Sep 2022 --- United Caps and Mimica have partnered to debut a new closure technology, Touchcap, for food waste reduction. The cap works with a specialized gel that never comes into contact with the food product, yet changes the cap surface from smooth to bumpy as food deteriorates. The research and development departments of the two organizations were successful in creating a fully recyclable cap that does not interfere with bottle recycling while providing a quick and simple method for consumers to confirm food quality.
