Tivoli clarified polypropylene (PP) reusable cup, injection moulded with PP in-mould label (IML) graphics. Using a single material throughout ensure compatibility of this returnable cup for recycling once it reaches the end of its useful life. However, the ink used for the decoration is trapped between the IML film and moulded cup, and so becomes contamination during recycling and means the cup cannot be recycled back into the same product.

Stand-up pouches (SUP) like this are typically made with laminated polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyester, and low density polyethylene (LDPE). The laminated structure may be labelled (PET/PE) and is not recyclable. Pouches made with mono-layer LDPE, welded to create an airtight barrier, can be recycled. The reason LDPE is laminated with other plastics, like PET, is to increase barrier properties, such as oxygen and odour.

The core of a golf ball is typically polybutadiene (PB) or a blend of synthetic rubbers. A mantle is moulded around the core, creating a perfect sphere and providing a bridge between the rubber core and plastic cover. Softer balls may have more layers. The cover is moulded over the top with the characteristically dimpled texture. It is typically either polyurethane resin (PUR) or Surlyn ionomer. The graphics are pad (tampo) printed onto the cover and sealed with a high-gloss coating.

Push Tab paper-based blister packaging by Syntegon and Huhtamaki, using FibreForm paper-based (75%) material. It provides an alternative to conventional blister packs made from polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and aluminium foil. The thermoforming technology developed by Syntegon enables the production of trays, pods, blister packs and pouches - many types of packaging previously not possible with paper. FibreForm can be used on its own, or laminated or coated to provide barrier properties and heat-sealing, for example. The coating provided by Huhtamaki provides barrier and sealing properties.

The plastic coating provides an extremely durable and long lasting finish, and is much less expensive than leather. The leather trim is left untreated. Known as vachetta leather, it is vegetable tanned and retains the natural colour of the skin. Over time, it has developed a rich patina.

Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) co-extruded with polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), acrylic, to provide a clear protective layer, and printed with carbon fibre composite graphic. The sheet is thermoformed (vacuum formed) into 3D shapes. These types of materials are used for transportation (bodywork, for example), off-highway, agricultural vehicles and product enclosures (electronics equipment, medical and safety).
