Material innovation startup Sway launches its compostable seaweed-based polybags in collaboration with leading sustainable brands, taking a giant step toward eliminating plastic in fashion packaging.
The pouch, which took home the prize in the Packaging Innovation category, is entirely compostable, made from a home compostable flexible laminate and an industrially compostable CO2 valve.
The recycled film has been tested for mass production purposes at TOPPAN packaging facilities, with the results determining it suitable for mass production processes such as printing, laminating, and pouch forming.
This pioneering product represents a major advancement in more sustainable packaging, addressing the growing demand for more environmentally responsible solutions, when compared to conventional packaging.
MCS Inc. President David Loos says high-speed inkjet printers eliminate the need for adhesive labels by printing tracking codes, special offers and other promotional messages directly on secondary packaging.
The newly developed film can be processed on Pester stretch wrapping machines and full overwrapping systems, offering an environmentally friendly alternative to packaging with conventional film material.
The revolutionary product line has been developed with the vision to cater to the increasing demand for flexible packaging in the food and beverages sector with compostable solutions and contribute towards a cleaner planet.
