A Shining Example of Recyclability

“Using the Formifor capabilities from our plant in Roeselare, combined with the lamination technique in Steinfeld, we are able to create finished mono material laminates,” explains Dries Devlaminck, R&D Engineer, Berry bpi.

The high gloss finish of the film delivers a superior look and feel to further enhance brand image and on-shelf presence. In addition, the film’s excellent stiffness and strength enables stand-up pouches to be produced.

“However, the most important and unique selling point is its recyclability, which provides our clients finally with a sustainable solution for their packaging material,” Dries continues.

Further developments are also underway to offer an even more sustainable packaging solution.

“X-Enviro Laminate can be recycled in appropriate collection schemes but we want to produce a film containing recycled content as well,” says Michael Kreymborg, Head of R&D, Berry bpi.

“Successful trials of a backing film with 50% recycled content have already been achieved and we will continue to further enhance the product in the coming months,” he concludes.
