SLEEVER® and CARBIOS globally launch world’s first Home Compost
biodegradable tamper evident seal: SEELCAP® ONEGO
- The SEELCAP® ONEGO innovation is the
fruit of a long-term partnership between SLEEVER® and CARBIOS that
combines their expertise to produce more environmentally friendly
packaging security
- SEELCAP® ONEGO will be presented on
the SLEEVER (RF14, Hall Ravel) and CARBIOS (VA17, Hall Verrière)
stands at LuxePack Monaco, to be held from 30 September to 2
October 2024 at the Grimaldi Forum
Morangis and Clermont-Ferrand (France),
Wednesday 25 September 2024 (18h00 CEST) : SLEEVER®,
a French family-owned group International SME and innovative leader
in shrinksleeve label technology, and CARBIOS,
(Euronext Growth Paris : ALCRB), a pioneer in the
development and industrialization of biological technologies to
reinvent the life cycle of plastic and textiles, today unveil the
first innovation to emerge from their partnership: SEELCAP®
ONEGO, the world's first Home
Compost1 biodegradable
tamper evident seal.
The revolutionary nature of this dual innovation
lies in the integration of the encapsulated enzyme CARBIOS Active,
CARBIOS’ biodegradation solution for PLA, into the biopolymer
blend, and in its eco-designed concept developed with Fabrice
Peltier. SEELCAP® ONEGO is an original, proprietary tamper-evident
concept, consisting of two distinct but inseparable aims: the first
to ensure tamper-evidence, and the second to enable easy opening in
a single gesture with a gripping flap.
Thanks to the inclusion of CARBIOS Active in the
material, SEELCAP® ONEGO disintegrates completely in composting
conditions, even at room temperature, in less than 6 months (TÜV
Austria “OK Compost HOME” certification for SEELCAP® ONEGO is
pending). SEELCAP® ONEGO thereby reduces the carbon footprint by up
to 70%2 compared with conventional shrink capsules, and
significantly improves the circularity of this type of packaging.
This complete solution brings about a radical change in terms of
sustainability, while addressing brands' concerns for safety,
traceability and mass production.
SEELCAP® ONEGO easily integrates existing
filling lines and is compatible with the SLEEVER® Group's
Combishrink® and Combiskinner® shrink-fitting equipment, with
outputs ranging from 60 to 24,000 bottles per hour.
The SEELCAP® ONEGO innovation will be
presented on the SLEEVER (RF14, Hall Ravel) and CARBIOS (VA17, Hall
Verrière) stands at LuxePack Monaco, to be held at the Grimaldi
Forum from 30 September to 2 October 2024.
SEELCAP® ONEGO: the world's first Home
Compost3 biodegradable
tamper-evident concept
The tamper-evident function is necessary to
ensure packaging security, particularly for glass products
associated with wooden caps often used for wines, spirits and
alcohols. Due to its small size (< 60 mm), conventional
tamper-evident systems do not fit into traditional packaging
sorting and recycling flows, hence the need for a new alternative
offered by this Home Compost4 biodegradable
solution.
CARBIOS Active: a world-unique
innovation that enables PLA-rich applications to be composted at
ambient temperature, thereby improving their life
cycle
Integrated directly into the plastic
transformation process without modifying production lines, the
encapsulated enzyme CARBIOS Active enables the creation of a new
generation of products made from biopolymers that can be composted
at ambient temperature, whatever the soil conditions, while
guaranteeing quality compost, free from toxicity and microplastics.
CARBIOS Active opens up new possibilities for PLA biodegradation at
ambient temperature, including under domestic composting
conditions. A production line is already up and running at CARBIOS
headquarters in Clermont-Ferrand, France, capable of producing
2,500 tons/year of CARBIOS Active (required for the equivalent of
50,000 tons/year of enzymated PLA).
Emmanuel Ladent, CEO, CARBIOS :
“I'm delighted to present SEELCAP® ONEGO to the market, the
first innovation resulting from our partnership with SLEEVER.
Thanks to the integration of CARBIOS Active, we have jointly
developed the first tamper evident seal that can be composted at
ambient temperature, offering a valuable alternative when recycling
is not an option. This is a concrete application of CARBIOS'
mission to find innovative and sustainable solutions to rethink the
life cycle of all types of plastic.”
Eric Fresnel, President,
SLEEVER® Group: “SEELCAP® ONEGO is a new
eco-designed offer for tamper-evident packaging, the fruit of
collaboration between the SLEEVER® and CARBIOS teams, with the
participation of designer Fabrice Peltier. This breakthrough
innovation in packaging security meets the needs of the wine,
spirits and alcoholic beverages markets, particularly in countries
where recycling channels for glass packaging have not yet been
developed.”
