Industry-Leading Performance Meets Full Recyclability
Experience the ultimate in cleanliness, control, and convenience with SimpliCycle. This recyclable, high-performance valve retains all the advantages of Aptar’s silicone and Swimming® Silicone valves, ensuring a superior dispensing experience.
Made from low-density material, the SimpliCycle flow control valve floats, making it easy to separate from the PET stream and recycle with the PP/PE olefin stream. This means you can enjoy a sustainable solution without compromising on performance.
When assembled into an Aptar closure, SimpliCycle creates a sustainable solution for use with PET, PE or PP containers.
Simplicycle has been awarded the best CSR/Sustainability initiative by World Food Innovation Awards and has received the prestigious WorldStar Global Packaging Award for packaging innovation.
