Kennedy, a US-based labeling, packaging, and identification solutions provider, has developed a new line of bottle-to-bottle labels which complement its pressure sensitive labels range.

The bottle-to-bottle labels are designed for polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles and packaging and are in the process of being recognized by the Association of Post Consumer Plastic Recyclers (APR) for the food-grade recycling stream.

Kennedy developed packaging innovations resulting in a comprehensive recycling solution, as part of the APR's Champion's for Change program. Once approved, Kennedy B-2-B Labels will be the only labels on the market to comply with APR protocols for all three elements of the label.

The clear and white film bottle-to-bottle labels cater to the label, adhesive, and ink requirements for food-grade recycling. Theyoffer a point of differentiation for packaging designers, brand owners, and consumers.

Kennedy stated that the labels offer shelf presence for the brand, and allow consumers know that the brand is promoting recycling and sustainability.

In addition, the pressure-sensitive labels are suitable for improving recycling efficiencies and the overall quality of post-consumer plastics.

Kennedy, headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio, provides market-tested and innovative solutions to help customers package, promote, identify and track their products.
