Heat resistant. Recyclable at scale.

Akestra™ is an innovative copolyester that can be co-extruded with recycled PET, providing added heat resistance, while maintaining its recyclability in existing PET recycling streams. This makes it an excellent alternative to traditional and hard to recycle materials such as polystyrene. 

It also addresses the lack of food grade recycled polypropylene used for hot fill food packaging and hot food & beverage packaging, with the added benefit of high post-consumer recycled (PCR) content and being recyclable at scale.  

This innovation elevates the performance qualities of rPET, opening up a spectrum of new application areas for PET in heat resistant packaging. It’s technically advanced, it’s regulation-ready and it’s future-proof.

In this webinar, industry leaders dive into the challenges and solutions in hotfill food packaging, focusing on the new PPWR regulations and how they impact recyclability requirements. Join us as we explore the landscape.

Key topics covered:

• Hotfill food packaging trends, challenges and market drivers
• PPWR - New EU rules to reduce, reuse and recycle packaging
• Innovations in hotfill packaging vs. conventional materials such as PS
• Recyclability requirements and tests
• Insightful discussions during Q&A
