APR Compliance

PET plastic recycling is critical for decreasing environmental impact and conserving valuable resources. The Association of Plastic Recyclers (APR) is the leading authority in PET recycling to successfully handle this challenge. APR’s initiatives are part of a larger effort to set industry standards, promote sustainable practices, and develop a closed-loop system for this widely used plastic substance.
At Star Label Products, we create PET solutions that meet the APR Design Meets Preferred Guidance (MPG) Program requirements per the APR Design® Guide for Plastics Recyclability.

Improved Recycling

PET is commonly found in beverage bottles, food containers, and consumer products. Its durability, lightweight nature, and versatility have made it a staple in packaging. However, improper PET disposal can lead to pollution and resource depletion. This is where APR recycling steps in. It focuses on optimizing the collection, sorting, and processing of PET plastic to transform it into high-quality recycled materials.
