The results of comprehensive trials have proven that multilayer food packaging structures with Ixan® polyvinylidene chloride (PVDC) can effectively be recycled into valuable feedstock for other applications within a standard polyethylene (PE) based waste stream.
This achievement required rigorous preparation, as Trinseo, alongside the Fraunhofer Institute prepared an "EFSA Novel Technology Dossier" to demonstrate the decontamination efficiency of its dissolution installation and to validate the food contact safety of the finished product.
DS Smith and Martins Brewery have partnered to create a sustainable fiber-based, six-pack handle packaging solution with an experiential element for organic beer consumers.
Scottish firm sees growth potential with Minnesota sugar beets providing the key ingredient to create fiber-based barrier packaging that is a PFAS-free alternative to plastics.
With bans on PFAS and polystyrene popping up across the packaging landscape, Bill Kuecker and Emily Parsons of Solenis explain how a new generation of molded fiber is responding to the call for sustainable packaging options that also offer high performance.
