Industry-Leading Performance Meets Full Recyclability

Experience the ultimate in cleanliness, control, and convenience with SimpliCycle. This recyclable, high-performance valve retains all the advantages of Aptar’s silicone and Swimming® Silicone valves, ensuring a superior dispensing experience.

Made from low-density TPE, the SimpliCycle valve floats in water, making it easy to separate from PET in the recycling stream; it can then be ground and recycled with the remaining PP/PE olefins. This allows for a sustainable solution without compromising on performance.

When assembled into an Aptar closure, SimpliCycle creates a sustainable solution for use with PET, PE or PP containers.

SimpliCycle has been awarded the best CSR/Sustainability Initiative by World Food Innovation Awards, has received the prestigious WorldStar Global Packaging Award for packaging innovation, and has been categorized as fully recyclable by both RecyClass and APR.

Regional Availability: North America, Latin America, Asia, EMEA
