Boulder Canyon™ Natural Foods, a leading North American snack food manufacturer, has introduced a renewable, fully compostable pack for its line of All Natural Kettle Cooked Potato Chips.

The innovative packaging is gaining attention because it looks, feels and sounds the same as traditional, non-compostable bags. The bag is the first of its kind on the market to be made from a structure that incorporates metallised NatureFlex™ NKM from Innovia Films.

NatureFlex™ is a cellulose-based flexible film manufactured from renewable wood pulp, which is sourced from plantations that have Forestry Stewardship Council (FSC) or similar certification. The product contains over 90% renewable content as measured by

ASTM 6866 and is also compostable in both home and industrial settings, meeting the requirements of ASTM D6400 and EN13432 standards by composting within six weeks.

NatureFlex™ is not only compostable, but also confirmed as suitable for emerging 'waste to energy' techniques such as anaerobic digestion. Genpak, the Canadian-based packaging converter that spearheaded the research and development of the Boulder Canyon™ bag, called on long-time partner Innovia Films to supply the film used in the structure.
