At CuBE Packaging, we can use detectable black plastics. This is a type of black pigment or colorant used in plastic packaging.
It is designed to be transparent to near-infrared light, allowing for the identification and sorting of black plastic materials using this detectable technology at recycling facilities.
This additive helps improve the recycling and sustainability of black plastic packaging.

Black plastic packaging has historically been challenging to recycle because it absorbs near-infrared light, making it difficult for sorting devices to detect and sort these materials.
This has led to significant amounts of black plastic ending up in landfills rather than being recycled.
Recycling facilities use this technology to sort plastics based on their composition and type. This additive helps machines measures the absorption of infrared radiation at different wavelengths, allowing it to distinguish between different plastics.
However, conventional black plastic absorbs the black plastic, making it indistinguishable from other materials and reducing its recycling potential.
Detectable Black Plastic Technology offers a more sustainable solution by enabling black plastic to be sorted and recycled effectively.
This is particularly important as consumer and government demands for environmentally friendly products continue to grow.
Our investment in detectable black technology is a significant step towards enhancing the recyclability of black plastic packaging.
This technology enables the detection and sorting of black plastic using near-infrared technology, addressing the challenges typically associated with traditional black plastics in recycling processes.
By doing so, CuBE Packaging is actively contributing to creating a more sustainable and environmentally friendly future for generations to come
