The New Standard in Recyclable Flexible Packaging: High-Barrier, Low Impact Solutions
In today’s packaging world, combining consumer demands with sustainability is crucial. Our team has made a major breakthrough with a high-barrier, 99% LDPE laminate that offers the same level of product protection as metalized PET but in a fully recyclable, single-material solution. This innovation sets a new standard in packaging by delivering a sustainable option that meets performance needs typically handled by complex multi-material layers—a leap forward for eco-friendly consumer goods.
Why Sets It Apart:
- Single-Material, High-Barrier Solution: Provides the protective qualities of multi-layer packaging without the environmental drawbacks.
- Lower Fossil Fuel Dependence: Reduces reliance on fossil fuels compared to conventional materials, lowering the environmental impact.
- Recyclable and Responsible: Designed for easy recycling with dedicated soft plastics streams, making it simple to dispose of sustainably.
This high-barrier laminate delivers high performance while remaining recyclable. Key advantages include:
- Outstanding Protection: Keeps products fresh and secure, comparable to the best multi-material packaging.
- Recyclability: Works with soft plastic recycling programs, including those specifically for Number 4 plastic.
- Sustainable Content: Can contain up to 55% recycled content, reducing carbon emissions and supporting the circular economy.
- Versatile Across Applications: Adaptable to a wide variety of packaging formats, supporting many industries and needs.
- Less Fossil Fuel Usage: Uses fewer fossil resources compared to traditional packaging.
- Reduced Carbon Footprint: Incorporates up to 55% recycled content, cutting down on carbon emissions.
- Recyclable and Circular-Friendly: Designed to be fully recyclable, promoting circularity and a more sustainable future.
The flexibility and protective strength of this material make it a valuable option for diverse sectors:
- Food and Beverage: Keeps products fresh and extends shelf life, helping to reduce waste.
- Personal Care: Maintains quality by protecting moisture-sensitive products.
- Pet Products: Preserves the nutritional integrity of pet foods.
- Pharmaceuticals: Provides secure packaging for medications and supplements.
- Household Goods: Offers durable, reliable packaging for various household items.
