Yupo Corporation has confirmed its participation in Labelexpo Southeast Asia in Bangkok in May. There, it will showcase CleanSort, a next-generation in-mold technology that allows easy label separation from the container, which can then be recycled to low-contamination form.

As environmental concerns continue to grow, the need for sustainable practices in packaging is more pressing than ever. Yupo is stepping up to the challenge with its CleanSort technology. This innovation aims to transform the recycling of rigid plastics by ensuring that packaging materials are easily recycled, while improving the quality and demand for post-consumer recycled (PCR) content.

The labels used in the CleanSort system are specially designed to be easily separated during the recycling process, carrying away contaminants like inks, foils and coatings. This allows packaging materials such as PP, PET, and HDPE to return to their low contamination state, ready to be reused in manufacturing.

The CleanSort labels suit white, light or natural bottles and containers. By removing labels during recycling, CleanSort reduces solid waste and improves the overall recycling experience.

When rigid plastics like bottles or containers enter the recycling process, the CleanSort labels are separated and removed. In this way, CleanSort minimizes contamination in recycled materials, increasing the quality of the PCR content and expanding demand for these recycled products. The result is a more sustainable and efficient recycling process that benefits everyone involved, from plastic reclaimers to brand owners.

Yupo’s CleanSort technology represents a major leap forward in making the packaging industry more sustainable. The company is committed to creating packaging that helps reduce waste and minimize environmental impact.

CleanSort provides an eco-friendly labeling technology that enables brands to meet their sustainability targets while delivering high-quality products to consumers. By adopting this innovative technology, companies can contribute to environmental protection and enhance their operational efficiency and product appeal.
