Packaging serves a necessary function-protecting or preserving the product it contains. The material chosen for the packaging has to satisfy this basic functionality. However, as products become increasingly sophisticated, more functionalities of packaging are needed and a single material may not be able to satisfy all the requirements, but problem is that the more complicated the packaging design, the lower the chances of it being recycled.
What's more, no material is as difficult to differentiate as plastic. A transparent plastic can be PET ,PVC or even PS. These plastics cannot be mechanically recycled together and have to be separated. If the PET material does not reach the quality of recycled PET (which has a higher recycled value), the plastic will be downgraded or even contaminated and cannot be reused.

Mono material means the entire packaging is made from one single material, which is an ideal answer to recycling. PP/PE/PET are the best options, they're recyclable thermoplastic polymer widely used in many different products already. They are rugged and resistant to different chemical solvents, acids, and bases. There's no need to tell consumer to separate components before recycling, or to pack properly for door-to-door recycling, you only need to tell them to put the packaging into recycling bin with full confidence because it's truly 100% recyclable.

Mono material doesn't mean mono design. You can achieve kinds of custom design for any component color, print, hot stamp, matte finish coating, metalization. We have confidence that this sustainable packaging won't burden your amazing design.

You can combine the concept of mono material and PCR together, using single PCR material for your packaging like PCR cosmetic bottles. If considering mono material jar packaging that made from 100% recyclable material, then the models can be produced with PCR material directly. So you have a chance to obtain both benefits here with 100% recyclable and 100% recycled material.
