compostable
Compostable Sealant Web for Bio-LaminatesOn average, every household produces 1 tonne of waste each year and this amount is increasing. Everyday tonnes of flexible packaging waste are sent to landfill, due to the challenges of collecting, cleaning and separating these materials to make them suitable for recycling. The food and packaging industry is a sector where a more sustainable approach would make a significant difference. For the food industry, this challenge can be turned into a competitive advantage using sustainable packaging.The consumers of today are becoming more conscious when it comes to selecting both food and packaging. They want to know more about the ingredients, origin and quality of both the packaging and the contents and they want to be sure they are making the right choices for their health and the environment.
Become a market leader instead of a follower with compostable packaging. “Bio-laminates” offer the potential to deliver the packaging performance & lightweight features of traditional plastic film laminates with the tangible sustainability benefits of renewable raw materials and enhanced end of life options including compostability. Innovia Films’ NatureFlex™ range provides the transparent and metallised films critical to maximising shelf life due to the enhanced barrier properties of these films. To complement this, Innovia Films and BioBag International have worked together to commercialise a compostable sealant inner web, Bio-L based on PolyButylene Succinate (PBS), which offers enhanced technical performance when combined with NatureFlex™ in bio-laminate constructions.
