To identify more circular solutions, the RecyClass PO Films Technical Committee commissioned a test campaign in line with the Recyclability Evaluation Protocol for PE films.
Unlike traditional reverse printed PET/PE laminations, the film is designed to serve as a standalone, non-laminated and surface printed structure, reducing the number of processing steps for packaging converters.
This milestone strengthens Mondi’s position as an industry leader in sustainable paper solutions and supports customers in meeting sustainability goals and regulatory requirements.
This innovative solution addresses the challenge of producing materials that are designed for recyclability while delivering enhanced mechanical properties and enabling significant downgauging potential to improve operational efficiency across the value chain.
Supported by a $1.7 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy, the team designed polyester-based multilayer films that perform comparably to commercial packaging while offering potential for both mechanical and chemical recycling.
Studies by one.five show that the Glassleaf packaging generates approximately 15–20% fewer emissions compared to conventional OPP packaging (30 µm thickness).
The Air Peel Technology delivers 25% stronger seals and 50% greater breathability than comparable products, supporting faster, more reliable sterilization cycles and ensuring packaging integrity in demanding conditions.
Effective immediately, select convenience products from NORMA's private label will be packed in Koehler NexPlus® Advanced, an innovative and recyclable paper product made by Koehler Paper.
Certification confirms that the GreenPod Home range can break down and biodegrade in domestic conditions, leaving no toxic residues or persistent microplastics behind.
This innovative solution replaces conventional multi-material rigid trays and lid films, offering a thinner, recyclable alternative that maintains shelf-life and runs efficiently on HFFS lines.
