100% Recyclable Mono-Material Spout Pouches: High-Barrier Flexible Packaging for Liquid Products
Traditional liquid packaging often relies on multi-material laminate structures (such as PET/AL/PE) that are notoriously difficult to separate and recycle. Cailyn’s Next-Gen™ Mono-Material Recyclable Spout Pouches solve this sustainability challenge.
Engineered with 100% Polyethylene (PE) , the pouches deliver recyclability while maintaining the high-barrier, leak-proof, and drop-test performance required for commercial liquid packaging.
Product Specifications & Material Structures
We tailor the laminate structure based on your product’s sensitivity to oxygen, moisture, and shelf-life requirements:

Technical Performance Metrics:
OTR (Oxygen Transmission Rate):
- < 0.1 cc/m²/24h (for high-barrier EVOH co-extruded structures)
MVTR (Moisture Vapor Transmission Rate):
- < 0.1 g/m²/24h
Temperature Resistance:
- Supports hot-filling up to 90°C (Mono-PP) and pasteurization processes.
Certifications:
- BPA-free, US FDA & EU Food-Contact compliant (EU 10/2011).
Why Choose Cailyn’s Recyclable Pouches
1. 100% Recyclable as a Single Material
Unlike traditional pouches where the spout must be cut off before recycling, our recyclable spout pouches feature structurally matched components. A Mono-PE pouch body is welded to a PE spout and cap, creating an integrated packaging unit that is 100% recyclable together in the PE recycling stream.
2. Full Compliance with Global Packaging Regulations
Future-proof your supply chain and avoid punitive plastic taxes in key international markets:
EU PPWR Compliant:
- Meets strict
"Design for Recycling" (DfR)
guidelines under the European Union's Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation.
US SB 54 & EPR Ready:
- Qualified for "Store Drop-off" recycling streams in North America, ensuring compliance with state-level Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) laws.
Uncompromising Barrier & Physical Strength
Through advanced Machine Direction Orientation (MDO) film technology, our pouches feature high tensile strength and puncture resistance. They pass rigorous 1.5-meter drop tests with zero leakage, guaranteeing transport safety for heavy liquid products.
Key Applications
Our mono-material food pouches and refill pouches are widely used across multiple sectors:
Food & Beverages:
- Baby food purees, fruit juices, honey, condiments, and organic sauces.
Cosmetics & Personal Care:
- Liquid soap refills, shampoos, conditioners, body washes, and facial creams.
Household & Chemical:
- Liquid laundry detergents, fabric softeners, glass cleaners, and automotive fluids.
