TotalEnergies Corbion has launched an embossed, label-free PLA bottle for the South Korean beverage market, facilitating a closed-loop recycling system with Sansu. This design uses embossed branding to eliminate conventional labels, simplifying the recycling process by allowing bottles to enter recycling streams directly.
The system collects post-consumer bottles for chemical recycling, converting PLA back into lactic acid monomer for new recycled Luminy PLA (rPLA) production. This initiative supports circular economy goals and offers lower carbon footprints compared to traditional plastics.
