Avery Dennison\u2019s AD CleanFlake technology has secured RecyClass Technology Approval for the polyethylene terephthalate (PET) recycling stream.<\/p>\n

The radio-frequency identification (RFID) tag manufacturer had received a similar approval for the high-density polyethylene (HDPE) stream in October 2024.<\/p>\n

At the Labelexpo event being held in Barcelona, Spain, from 16-19 September 2025, Avery Dennison will showcase how AD CleanFlake labels can be cleanly released from both PET and HDPE flakes during the recycling process.<\/p>\n

AD CleanFlake technology is said to deliver adhesion, clarity, and conversion capabilities, along with strong print quality and improved productivity, owing to the TC7007 topcoat.<\/p>\n

This empowers brand proprietors to craft packaging that captures attention on the shelf.<\/p>\n

Those utilising these substrates can certify their packaging, with the prospect of achieving an A-class rating, aiding them in preparing for the Plastic Packaging Waste Regulations and possibly diminishing their extended producer responsibility levies.<\/p>\n

The AD CleanFlake technology has received recognition from several authoritative bodies, including the European Pet Bottle Platform, Institut Cyclos-HTP, the Association of Plastic Recyclers, and now RecyClass.<\/p>\n

In June, Avery Dennison unveiled an RFID tag<\/a> that became the first to receive the Association of Plastic Recyclers Design for Recyclability endorsement.<\/p>\n

The company highlighted that its label merges seamlessly\u00a0with the PET recycling infrastructure in North America, setting a fresh benchmark for the sector. <\/p>\n

It is reported that the label was developed by fusing its distinctive CleanFlake adhesive technology with its knowledge in RFID.<\/p>\n
