With this new product portfolio, even ultra-thin biaxially oriented films can be achieved,Develop a brand new home composting packaging solutionFood contact grade Ecovio ® The product has excellent mechanical and optical properties, with outstanding transparency performance.
Bringing brand new application flexibility:
High barrier flexible packaging enables home composting
Michael Bernhard Schick, from BASF Biopolymers Global Business Management Team, said:
With the all-new Ecovio ® Product portfolio,We provide a complete set of modular material solutions for flexible packaging manufacturersThey are free to choose: they can flexibly adjust between barrier performance, processing technology, and recycling solutions according to specific application needs and sustainable development goals. This helps manufacturers and brands to consider scrap options during the product development phase while jointly developing high-performance packaging solutions. We are delighted to showcase Ecovio to the audience at the International Packaging Exhibition ® Multiple possibilities in high barrier flexible packaging design - these packaging can also achieve home composting. Various mature application samples targeting the two major value chains of plastic and paper-based will be exhibited on site. ”
Based on the differences in substrate and packaging design,
Certified compostable ecovio ® Support diversified scrapping solutionsThe packaging structure using paper and cardboard substrates can achieve high fiber recovery rates through a mature paper recycling system; When the packaging is contaminated with food residues, organic recycling can also be carried out. Adopting Ecovio ® The soft plastic packaging made can be organically degraded in industrial or household composting environments without producing persistent microplastics. Depending on the product brand, ecovio ® Biobased
raw materialUp to 80% content, or supplied in the form of certified BMB biomass balance materials.
New Ecovio ® Brand products can be used to make barrier layers for fast-moving consumer goods packaging of various foods and other ingredientsCan be used to manufacture self-supporting bags, pouches, trays, or packaging boxes for holding hot, cold, dry, wet, solid, liquid, or oily foods, including coffee, salty snacks, grains, chocolate bars, ice cream, sauces, tomato sauce, mayonnaise, meat products, fish products, and cheese.
