The adapa Group is expanding its portfolio of drawstring bags with a new variant: the EcoString bag is now also available with PE drawstrings, which differ neither visually nor in terms of performance from the classic viscose or cellulose strings. This will allow companies to maximize the PE content of drawstring bags and be on the safe side with regard to the PPWR's recyclability requirements without the need for machine retrofits or consumers having to change their habits.
From the outside, not much has changed: the new drawstrings are indistinguishable from their cellulose or viscose predecessors and the bags made with them can be easily processed on existing machines. With a PE drawstring, companies maximize the PE content of their bags and are thus safely above the advantageous 95% by weight limit for material code marking. When it comes to pouch design, manufacturers of cosmetic products can continue to rely on flexibility: The new PE cords can be applied single or double, the pouches are available glossy or matt and can be finished in flexographic printing with up to ten colors.
Also available with PCR content
The new drawstring bag is another innovation from the adapa Group and strengthens the portfolio in the hygiene and cosmetics packaging sector. Like the EcoString bag with printable drawstrings made from edge trimmings, the conventional and new bags are also available with up to 80% PCR content.
