food shelf life

LLDPE and LDPE (low density polyethylene) are widely used in food packaging and are ideal for food storage due to their high resistance to moisture, tearing and chemicals. The graphene-enhanced zipper bags have reportedly shown an increase in tensile strength of 31% compared to non-graphene LLDPE (linear low-density polyethylene) zipper bags. In addition, the increased mechanical strength of the graphene zipper bags allows light weighting of the plastic, reducing the film thickness from 90µm to 60µm per bag.

• Mondi and converter Fiorini International have collaborated to create a new paper packaging solution for Antico Pastificio Umbro, an Italian manufacturer of premium pasta products.
• The new packaging is completely recyclable and when rolled out across the full pasta range will eliminate up to 20 tonnes of plastic every year.
• Providing strength and style, the appealing packaging even features a paper window allowing the consumer to see the products.
• The innovative pasta packaging was included in The Waste Age Exhibition hosted by the London Design Museum and
