Albéa’s mono-material HDPE tube and cap are recycling-ready in Europe Premium Beauty News Share: Albéa’s mono-material HDPE tube with cap has just been approved by RecyClass (Plastics Recyclers Europe). RecyClass is a cross-industry initiative that works to advance plastic packaging recyclability in Europe through Design for Recycling guidelines. This approval proves that our tube+cap is compatible with established, at-scale HDPE bottles recycling stream. “ This announcement is another major step on our journey towards 100% recyclable tubes. Last year our Greenleaf 2 laminate tube technology was recognized by both Association of Plastic Recyclers (APR) in the US and RecyClass in Europe. Now is the turn of our extruded plastic tubes. With today’s recognition we demonstrate that our extruded tubes are designed for recycling and recycling-ready – and our unique, breakthrough cap too! This will allow consumers to recycle the whole tube, without wondering what to do with the cap,” says Gilles Swyngedauw, Vice-President CSR and Innovation at Albéa. “
