Recycle-Ready

Revolution™ sortable barrier APET trays are curbside recyclable in municipalities offering the service. Revolution™ sortable barrier APET is pre-qualified by How2Recycle® for “check locally” in U.S. and “widely recycled” in Canada.

*Currently recyclable where thermoforms are accepted; 90%+ of material can be recovered

'Recycle-Ready' can have many meanings, visit the Sustainability in Packaging: A Glossary of Terms to understand our definition.

Lower Carbon Footprint

**According to an Amcor ASSET™ lifecycle assessment based on a cradle-to-grave comparison of 16mil Revolution™ APET versus the incumbent 16mil APET, assuming 100% of the Revolution™ trays are recycled with 90% PET recovery at end-of-life, and 100% of the incumbent trays are landfilled at end-of-life. ASSET™ methodology is assured by the Carbon Trust. Data valid at time of analysis.
