Selenis is pleased to announce they have been formally recognized by the Association of Plastic Recyclers (APR) for meeting the highest criteria for recyclability according to the APR Design® Guide for Plastics Recyclability for Weezen® CE.
The combination of Weezen® CE 102 and Weezen® CE 201 resins, allows for the extrusion of a multilayer heat-shrinkable film that has the ability to crystallize, avoiding clumping issues in the post-consumer PET bottle recycling process. These resins are developed with an innovative chemical composition that guarantees the same characteristics as shrink film produced with PETG, but with the advantage of having proven recyclability in the PET stream.
This offers a sustainable solution for the heat shrink sleeve market, as labels produced with this combination of resins are 100% recyclable, without compromising the shrinkage behavior. Selenis is excited to have received APR Design for Recyclability Recognition for our proprietary solution for a circular economy, showing our commitment to ensuring all packaging is recyclable.
“Labels can significantly impact the quality of recycled plastics. The APR is pleased to recognize Selenis for their Weezen® CE 102 and Weezen® CE 201 resins for heat shrink sleeve labels,” stated Steve Alexander, APR President, and CEO. “We encourage companies to choose packaging components that have received APR Design® Recognition, which are the gold standard for compatibility with recycling infrastructure, when making design decisions.”
APR Design® for Recyclability Recognition provides third-party validation that a package or packaging component’s design is compatible with the North American recycling system. This process confirms the item has met the highest criteria for recyclability according to the APR Design® Guide. Complete packages and all components of package design are eligible for APR Recognition.
The Association of Plastic Recyclers (APR) is a US-based international non-profit and the only North American organization focused exclusively on improving recycling for plastics. APR’s tools & resources help companies design packaging that can be recycled, support innovations that overcome existing recycling challenges, and encourage stable and reliable markets for post-consumer recycled content.

Their mission relies on employing their profound knowledge of polymers, formulations, and processing, in partnership with their clients to develop future-fit solutions and commit to create opportunities. Selenis is a global business with production sites in Portugal, Italy and the USA. Their production facilities have batch and continuous SSP units, permitting the production of a wide range of polymers to meet highly technical markets. Their production configurations provides Selenis the flexibility to produce both amorphous and crystallised products.
Committed to playing a role in society’s collective response to the plastic waste challenge, Selenis creates partnerships across the value chain to create long term solutions. Highly focused on sustainability, Selenis centers their innovation in developing resins with up to 50% recycled content and solutions that are fully recyclable in the PET stream. Their progress in molecular recycling turns waste into the building blocks of their specialty resins, contributing to the fight against climate change. Selenis and their sister company, Evertis, are members of the IMG group, an international business headquartered in Portugal with operations around the world. Our businesses have been pioneers in the polyester industry since 1959.
Selenis is pleased to announce they have been formally recognized by the Association of Plastic Recyclers (APR) for meeting the highest criteria for recyclability according to the APR Design® Guide for Plastics Recyclability for Weezen® CE.
The combination of Weezen® CE 102 and Weezen® CE 201 resins, allows for the extrusion of a multilayer heat-shrinkable film that has the ability to crystallize, avoiding clumping issues in the post-consumer PET bottle recycling process. These resins are developed with an innovative chemical composition that guarantees the same characteristics as shrink film produced with PETG, but with the advantage of having proven recyclability in the PET stream.
This offers a sustainable solution for the heat shrink sleeve market, as labels produced with this combination of resins are 100% recyclable, without compromising the shrinkage behavior. Selenis is excited to have received APR Design for Recyclability Recognition for our proprietary solution for a circular economy, showing our commitment to ensuring all packaging is recyclable.
“Labels can significantly impact the quality of recycled plastics. The APR is pleased to recognize Selenis for their Weezen® CE 102 and Weezen® CE 201 resins for heat shrink sleeve labels,” stated Steve Alexander, APR President, and CEO. “We encourage companies to choose packaging components that have received APR Design® Recognition, which are the gold standard for compatibility with recycling infrastructure, when making design decisions.”
APR Design® for Recyclability Recognition provides third-party validation that a package or packaging component’s design is compatible with the North American recycling system. This process confirms the item has met the highest criteria for recyclability according to the APR Design® Guide. Complete packages and all components of package design are eligible for APR Recognition.
The Association of Plastic Recyclers (APR) is a US-based international non-profit and the only North American organization focused exclusively on improving recycling for plastics. APR’s tools & resources help companies design packaging that can be recycled, support innovations that overcome existing recycling challenges, and encourage stable and reliable markets for post-consumer recycled content.
