Petcore endorses recyclable barrier material.

SurBond-E is a proprietary barrier material developed in conjunction with a proprietary SurShot multi-layer co-injection process that has been endorsed as recyclable by PET Container Recycling Europe (PETCORE), a nonprofit trade association focusing on the development of polyethylene terephthalate

packaging and recycling. The material is based on an ethylene-vinyl alcohol (EVOH) copolymer, which provides carbon dioxide and oxygen barrier properties for polyethylene terephthalate containers. The SurShot process produces two thin barrier layers, delivering a barrier material percentage weight that is two to three times lower than other co-injection systems.
