Technical Details

RecTech is a recyclable mono-material film technology engineered to deliver superior barrier protection and mechanical performance compared to conventional nonrecyclable composite structures such as PET+PE. The recognition was granted through APR's Critical Guidance Recognition pathway following evaluation using the FPE-CG-01 test protocol.

Certification History

  • India: Recyclability certified by CIPET, Bengaluru; oxygen and water vapour barrier performance certified by Indian Institute of Packaging (IIP), Kolkata
  • Europe: 100% recyclability certification issued by Institut cyclos-HTP GmbH
  • United States: APR Design® for Recyclability Recognition

Strategic Implications

The recognition establishes Mamata Machinery's claims on the functionality and recyclability of its technology across three major markets (India, Europe, and USA). This strengthens the case for commercial adoption by brand owners and converters facing pressure to meet Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) mandates and sustainability commitments.

Forward Plan

Mamata will focus on working with brand owners and converters to evaluate & deploy RecTech for specific applications, packaging formats and filling processes, leading to production trials and commercial adoption. The technology is supported by Mamata's indigenous recyclable-compatible packaging ecosystem.
