IONX™ receives APR Design® for Recyclability Recognition
We are pleased to announce that our IONX coating has been formally recognized by the Association of Plastic Recyclers (APR).
APR Design® for Recyclability Recognition provides third-party validation that a package or packaging component’s design is compatible with the North American recycling system. This process confirms the item has met the highest criteria for recyclability according to the APR Design® Guide.
This recognition reinforces IonKraft’s commitment to innovation, high-performance coatings, and sustainable solutions. With IONX, we continue to demonstrate that advanced barrier performance and a circular economy in plastic packaging can coexist.

About IONX
IONX is a SiOx-based plasma-generated nanocoating. Applied to the inside of plastic containers, it forms a glass-like, ultra thin barrier. This barrier slows down the permeation of oxygen, carbon dioxide, and other substances migration through the packaging wall. This protects sensitive products such as food, beverages, cosmetics, and chemicals throughout their shelf life.
