First on the market: Toray’s new PCR PET Films for pre-cut lids

Sustainability has always been one of Toray’s main focus. Today, Toray is the first on the market to launch a range of Post-Consumer Recycled (PCR) Lumirror® PET Films for pre-cut lids and dairy.

PCR PET film is made with post-consumer waste from bottles. Then, as it is a mono-material, it will be recyclable and can be combined with recycled bottles waste that can then be reused to do new PCR PET films. Finally, this can be repeated indefinitely. Toray is then committed to a circular economy.

Our PCR PET films comply with European applicable requirements for food contact applications.

Our Lumirror® PCR PET Films

Toray’s Lumirror® range has a new PCR PET film available in white and transparent, designed for pre-cut lidding applications:

• Lumirror® 10.56R – which offers an opaque white aspect and high gloss with coated side for printability. Available in 50µm.
• Lumirror® 60.56R – which offers a hazy aspect with coated side for printability. Available in 50µm.

For both PCR films Toray guarantees a 35% minimum PCR ratio but can be up to 90% PCR ratio on demand.
