Best in class oxygen barrier protection for PET bottles
Ring’s proprietary patented BarrierGuard® OxygenSmart™ technology is non-detrimental to the clear PET recycling stream – a first to market for materials of this type. Traditional barrier systems cause problems with the recycling stream, inhibiting the industry’s ability to produce quality post-consumer resin. Utilizing BGOS, food products requiring oxygen barrier protection can now achieve freshness, material reduction, and recyclability. Another Ring cost-effective packaging solution.
100% Recyclable PET Bottle
Bolster your marketing efforts and sustainability initiatives. Our barrier packaging products are cost-effective, fully recyclable, and support a circular economy.
Practical Packaging Sustainability
Supports packaging sustainability goals through the use of PET packaging that can incorporate post-consumer recycled (rPET) content while maintaining barrier performance. The technology helps brands balance product protection, packaging performance, and evolving sustainability objectives without compromising shelf-life requirements.
Best-in-class barrier protection with less material
OxygenSmart is more efficient defending against oxygen particles before they reach and degrade the product than older multilayer and monolayer technology. Our barrier coatings for food packaging:
- Block or absorb more oxygen using significantly less barrier material.
- More efficiently defend against oxygen particles before they reach and degrade the product.
- Protect products from drying out, discoloration, loss of aroma, and spoilage due to oxidation.
Simplified inventory
Eliminate the need for expiry dates on empty bottles in inventory and special handling. Our process ensures the barrier protection is not initiated until the product is put inside the container. You can handle and inventory OxygenSmart bottles without compromising the quality of the barrier.
Additional reasons to switch to BarrierGuard OxygenSmart:
- Can offer superior barrier protection for up to two years.
- Has glass-like clarity, comparable to virgin PET.
- Can be handled and inventoried without compromising the quality of the barrier.
- Can be customized for a wide variety of oxygen-sensitive applications.
- Can incorporate rPET without impacting the barrier performance.
- Includes world class, reliable customer support and service.
