Aptar’s PolkaLite closure paired with SimpliCycle Valve Technology

Aptar Food & Beverage has leveraged the benefits of two products – PolkaLite, a lighter version of the Polka closure (-1.3g), and the award-winning SimpliCycle recyclable valve. Aptar claims that the new 2-in-1 dispensing system delivers maximum performance, convenience, and recyclability

Achieve sustainable targets

PolkaLite is a recyclable closure designed to use less raw materials. The company states that it helps brands comply with packaging regulations, potentially achieve eco-taxes reduction, and appeals to environmentally conscious consumers committed to using recyclable products.

PolkaLite, when paired with SimpliCycle, is a dispensing solution that is recyclable at the end of use without compromising on performance. SimpliCycle, recently awarded the Best CSR/Sustainability Initiative at the World Food Innovation Awards ceremony in March 2021, is easily separated from the PET recycling stream and can be recycled with both PE and PP.

No compromise on performance

PolkaLite is designed to provide enhanced capping performance thanks to its optimum thread profile and the durable outer shape with less conicity. Consumers also benefit from a robust hinge and upgraded finger recess for a smoother grip plus the domed body deck and lower spout to avoid self-opening.

The SimpliCycle valve size (.500 inch) allows chunks and thicker sauces, pastes, and other ingredients. When used with acid-, oil- and fat-based products, the slitting of the valve remains consistent, making it ready-to-use in inverted dispensing systems, and reducing the risk of leakage.

Convenience for manufacturers and consumers

This ready-to-use solution is easy to deploy for manufacturers. By fitting different food products, even with chunks or with a high level of viscosities, PolkaLite combined with SimpliCycle is easy to scale and supports manufacturer expansion in an e-commerce environment.

Besides easy-to-open and close, this 2-in-1 solution also allows consumers to dispense precise product doses time after time. A clean cut-off and tight valve minimize stringing, spurts and drops. In addition, a smooth and straight flow reduces the chance of leaks; altogether, providing a much more hygienic and pleasant experience.
