EcoShear® – Simplifying Glass Recycling
With EcoShear®, CCL introduces a revolutionary adhesive technology developed specifically for single-use glass bottles. Traditional labels can impair the quality of recycled glass or adhere so strongly to glass shards that they are rejected during the sorting and recycling process – EcoShear®, however, enables nearly residue-free removal during recycling. This reduces glass waste to just 1.5 kg per ton and significantly increases the yield of high-quality recycled glass.

EcoFloat® WHITE – From White HDPE or PET to Clear PET
TThe new generation of floatable polyolefin sleeves enables a switch to clear PET for improved recycling compared to white HDPE for products such as yogurt, protein drinks, probiotic beverages, or other light-sensitive contents. The light protection barrier is moved from the bottle to the sleeve, and carbon-free inks optimise the PET recycling process. The bottles retain their familiar white appearance while complying with “Design-for-Recycling” standards.

Low Temperature WashOff – Efficiency for Reusable PET Bottles
With Low Temp WashOff, CCL brings its proven WashOff technology – already used for reusable glass – to the reusable PET bottle (refPET) market. The labels detach cleanly at washing temperatures starting from 58°C and shrink to support the removal process – offering enhanced efficiency on filling lines and an attractive product look. An effective and proven solution for brands that rely on reusable systems with refPET.

• EcoSource® BIO: Labels made from plant-based materials, available with ISCC-certified mass balance or direct sourcing. The result: reduced CO₂ footprint without compromising performance or recyclability.
• EcoSource® PCR: Labels containing ≥30% recycled content, made from post-consumer materials (e.g. Yellow Bag waste). Available as permanent or WashOff versions – ideal for brands committed to true circularity.

Mono-Material Pouches – 100% Recyclable
With its mono-material pouches made from PE or PP, CCL presents a future-ready solution for flexible packaging that helps brands comply with PPWR. The major advantage: Unlike traditional pouches made from multiple laminated plastic layers, these are composed of a single material type – such as pure polypropylene.
Mono-material structures enable a clean material stream that is more easily integrated into existing recycling processes – a key requirement for functional circular economy models. They also have a significantly lower CO₂ footprint compared to multi-material packaging.

Reuse Systems with RFID & eAgile IT – Smart Reusable Loops
CCL will also showcase complete solutions for reusable packaging systems at Drinktec: Labels with integrated RFID technology can be applied to each individual reusable container, enabling seamless digital tracking throughout the entire supply chain. The eAgile platform links each packaging unit with a unique digital identity – allowing cycles, locations, and conditions to be recorded and managed in real time. This makes reuse not only more sustainable but also economically efficient and transparently scalable.
