Aptar CSP Technologies, part of AptarGroup, Inc. and a leader in active material science solutions to ensure product protection, extend shelf life and improve patient experience, will preview its first-ever active bottle featuring post-consumer recycled (PCR) content at VitaFoods Europe, Booth J60, May 10-12 in Geneva, Switzerland.
The new PCR active bottles are now part of Aptar CSP Technologies’ Activ-Vial solutions portfolio. As with the rest of the active packaging portfolio, the company’s proprietary 3-Phase Activ-Polymer platform technology is fully integrated into the bottle to create a microclimate to protect against moisture and other environmental conditions. Unlike traditional packaging options, the technology co-molds highly-engineered active particles into the bottle, scavenging moisture before it reaches the contents inside.
Incorporating PCR content into its Activ-Polymer solutions is a step toward materials circularity, as sustainability becomes increasingly important to brand owners and their customers in the probiotic and nutraceuticals space. The company also plans to introduce an active bottle with higher PCR content in Q4.
Also at the VitaFoods show, Francois Bidet, Vice President of Business Development EMEA for Aptar CSP Technologies, will give a presentation on utilizing active material science technologies to solve common product probiotic protection challenges. Titled Reimagining Probiotics Protection with Breakthrough Active Material Science Technologies, the presentation will occur on May 11 at 12 p.m. CEST, both live at the event on via online broadcast.
