Mactac Sustainability Commitment Shines with Another Critical Guidance Recognition from Association of Plastic Recyclers

Showcasing its ongoing commitment to sustainability, Mactac® has again been recognized by the Association of Plastic Recyclers (APR) for recyclability of its pressure-sensitive label materials.

APR recently announced that Mactac has earned Critical Guidance Recognition (CGR) for its polypropylene pressure-sensitive label materials with hot-melt adhesive for rigid polypropylene containers. Label materials were proven compatible with polypropylene container recycling practices, exceeding the strictest criteria for product packaging recyclability.

Mactac is the first manufacturer to earn CGR for a hot-melt adhesive for polypropylene recycling applications. Mactac was also the first manufacturer to earn CGR for a hot-melt adhesive for high-density polyethylene containers, which it received in 2023.

“Mactac is committed to promoting a more circular economy and earning this recognition yet again propels us toward our goal,” says Kim Hensley, Senior Marketing Manager, Mactac Performance Adhesives. “To be the first manufacturer to earn CGR for a hot-melt adhesive last year was extremely exciting. And, to now hold the honor for both high density polyethylene and polypropylene applications is a significant accomplishment. Our team is incredibly proud.”
