RKW Danafilms’ (rkw-danafilms.com) FPO® filmstock for use with butter stick wraps is made with an old childhood favorite – chalk, also known as calcium carbonate. A filled polyolefin (from which the acronym FPO is derived), FPO film blends conventional polyolefin and calcium carbonate at a roughly 50/50 ratio. This innovative sourcing of materials leads to a reduced polymer usage, reduced energy consumption and the potential to reduce the film’s thickness compared to simple conventional filmstocks.
Aside from sustainability improvements, Steve Crimmin, U.S. director of sales & marketing for RKW Danafilms points out that the film delivers production benefits too.
