Green Bay Packaging, a supplier of sustainable label technologies, has announced the launch of its 976S pressure-sensitive adhesive engineered to meet the needs of PET recycling. The new adhesive is fully recognized by the Association of Plastic Recyclers (APR) and delivers impressive all-temperature performance, enabling seamless application and washaway removal across a wide range of packaging environments.

This innovation marks an advancement in the packaging and labeling industry, offering an “all-in-one” solution that meets both technical and recycling performance standards across several plastic substrates in wide-ranging temperature demands. For converters and their customers, it also makes simplifying supply chains while supporting circular economy goals a reality.

“Our all-temperature, APR-recognized adhesive is a game-changer for brands and converters committed to driving packaging sustainability,” says Chris Hoffmann, marketing director, Green Bay Packaging Coated Products. “976S accomplishes adhesion in cold, ambient, and hot-fill conditions—all while ensuring that PET containers can be cleanly recycled after use without incurring label contamination. Ultimately, this opens the door to greater operational flexibility, enhanced flake quality, and less landfill waste.”

Designed for use on PET, HDPE, and PP containers across food, beverage, personal care, and household applications, the adhesive supports both sustainability targets and operational flexibility.

This launch, the latest addition to Green Bay Packaging’s GreenCycle adhesives portfolio, reflects the company’s continued investment in environmentally responsible innovation and its commitment to helping customers transition toward a circular plastics economy.
