TETHER TUBE – ONE STEP AHEAD
ALPLA’s latest innovation combines several benefits: it is simple, practical and good for the environment. The Tether Tube consists of a lightweight mono-material and is completely recyclable. With the tube’s unique closure and simple handling, it is very easy for the consumer to use it to refill containers, among other functions.

Multiple benefits
- Monomaterial, and therefore 100% recyclable. Beneficial for waste pickers in informal waste collection systems.
- Lightweight – reduced material consumption.
- Circulatory – use of rHDPE possible = reduction in virgin plastic.
- Tether band included in the design to ensure that no small plastic components enter the environment or pose a hazard to young children.
- Reduced emissions – using the tube as an auxiliary product for refilling a keeper container with concentrates reduces CO2 emissions.
- Enabling refills – e.g., household cleaner concentrates to meet plastic reduction goals.
- Collapsible – increased efficiency in plastic waste collection and optimised for emptying residues.
- E-Commerce – shape can be adjusted to fit into a standard letterbox.
