VOID Technologies, the developer of the patented VO+™ cavitation masterbatch, has announced a strategic collaboration with Thanh Phu Packaging, a fully integrated flexible packaging leader based in Vietnam. Utilizing VO+ masterbatch, Thanh Phu is developing a new generation of machine-direction oriented (MDO) voided polyethylene (PE) films for use in pet food laminates, frozen food packaging, and hygiene applications. 

This collaboration combines Thanh Phu’s state-of-the-art manufacturing and MDO expertise with VOID’s VO+™ technology to produce fully recyclable, TiO₂-free, premium pearlescent white packaging that uses less plastic. Thanh Phu’s industry-leading capabilities across film extrusion, MDO orientation, premium printing, lamination, and finished packaging production offer a powerful platform to develop innovative, sustainable flexible packaging solutions using VOID’s technology. 

“Thanh Phu are one of the most innovative and capable MDO and packaging manufacturers in the world,” said James Gibson, CEO of VOID Technologies. “By combining our VO+™ technology with Thanh Phu’s advanced production expertise and global commercial footprint, we’re well-positioned to deliver rapidly scalable, sustainable packaging solutions to global and regional brand owners.”

Thanh Phu’s Executive Vice President, Alex Dam, commented: “We are proud to collaborate with VOID Technologies, whose patented VO+™ cavitation technology is revolutionizing the packaging industry. This partnership allows us to combine our expertise in MDO and packaging production with VOID’s innovative technology to create sustainable, fully recyclable packaging solutions that meet the evolving needs of our customers.

VOID’s VO+™ technology is already being used in North America and Europe to help brands meet ambitious sustainability targets around recyclability and plastic reduction.

This partnership builds on both companies’ strong track records in sustainable innovation and marks VOID’s first publicly announced collaboration with a company based in Asia.
