Smart packaging solutions for demanding packaging needs

Recycled raw material can be used even in the most demanding packaging solutions, and the film can be recycled along with ordinary plastic waste. Industrial film made of recycled raw material can be customised for the customer’s processes and product requirements.

Bio-based raw materials are mainly used in household products, and are fully recyclable in conventional recycling streams. New raw material sources suitable for bioplastic manufacture include polyethylene, based on tall oil or edible oil.

We mainly use biodegradable films made of renewable materials in our compostable waste bags, but such films are also suitable for food packaging. Biodegradable film cannot be recycled with normal plastic waste.

A barrier film, usually consisting of multiple layers, protects the contents from oxygen, moisture, UV radiation and odours. The effective oxygen barrier prevents oxygen penetration of packaging a hundred times more efficiently than ordinary films. The oxygen barrier is provided by an EVOH layer. The oxygen barrier does not affect the film’s recyclability.

MDO film is thin, but mechanically very strong. It can also be used in the manufacture of monomaterial laminate structures that are ecologically more sustainable. Because less raw material is used, less material needs to be discarded. The MDO-film is fully recyclable.

This innovative film, used to wrap bales, protects the contents from birds and rodents. The effect is based on an odour and taste added to the film by a non-toxic repellent. The repellent
does not harm animals or affect the film’s recyclability.
