Eco-friendly sheet

EcoStar™ HS 1000 is offered as a PET-based eco-friendly material, reportedly comparable in cost to PVC but with better clarity, that can be sealed with existing machinery and tooling using a broad variety of substrates. The co. says that the material's sealing efficiency offers energy savings of eight to 10 percent by reducing the duty cycle on RF machines, is easier to weld, with 100-percent fiber tear on blister-to-card seal and better plastic to plastic welding.
