kp Kapture™ – closing the loop on coloured PET

kp Kapture™ is a new range of black and coloured trays and rigid films made from up to 100% post-consumer recycled PET. They are produced using a carbon-free pigment that is detectable by recycling and sorting technology so they can be turned back into protective packaging again and again, keeping food fresh and safe every time.
Currently, in the UK alone, approximately 12,000 tonnes of plastic packaging containing carbon black pigment aren’t detected by near‑infrared sensors in the recycling stream and therefore are not ‘identified’ as recyclable. kp Kapture™ is changing that, closing the loop and giving retailers a sustainable option to showcase their products in the high‑quality black and coloured packaging associated with premium food product ranges.

RECOUP assisted kp with successful trials to independently demonstrate the detectability of kp Kapture™ coloured trays using existing sorting technology in UK facilities. This ensures the items in the kp Kapture™ product range can be sorted effectively and prepared for onward recycling.
