The latest dispensingclosures for food and drink use less plastic with no compromiseon performance.For food, the new Ultra Pour Spout SimpliSqueeze® closurefor spreads and condiments weighs significantly less than firstgeneration closures. In beverage, the lower profile of the 1881light Original sport closure enables weight savings of 25 %compared to the 28mm PCO/BPF version, while retaining thesame high performance and aesthetics that have ensured thesuccess of the Original range. The SimpliSqueeze® silicone beverage valve uses swimmingsilicone, which is compatible with the PET recycling stream.Swimming silicone, exclusive to Aptar, is available as a standardin beverage closures and on option for food products.Aptar Food + Beverage will continue to explore other ways ofreducing their environmental footprint, and to offer innovative,value-added solutions which bring increased convenience to theconsumer.
