NATUREFLEX™ – COMPOSTABLE AND RENEWABLE PACKAGING FILMS – Cellulose Based
NatureFlex™ is a range of specialty packaging films developed by Futamura to offer packaging material options that give strong environmental support towards increasing consumer demand for more environmentally responsible packaging. These bio-films are based strongly on renewable resources (Wood-pulp from managed plantations) and are certified to the European (EN13432) and American (ASTM D6400) norms for Industrially compostable packaging. In addition, the majority of grades have been certified by TÜV Austria to the OK Compost Home standard for home composting and certain grades have been proven to biodegrade in a waste-water environment.
Further testing has proven that most NatureFlex™ grades are also suitable for anaerobic digestion. NatureFlex™ films use novel heat seal-resins on each side. They are static free and offer a super wide heat seal range for outstanding machine performance. The films offer good gas barrier properties and the coatings can be tailored to provide varying degrees of moisture barrier, depending on the needs of the wrapped product.
PLA Films – COMPOSTABLE AND RENEWABLE PACKAGING FILMS – Starch Based
Innopack also supplies PLA films as an alternative to the above Cellulose film which is made from corn starch. It is 100% biodegradable and compostable. The film is strong and performs just as good as traditional plastic films. These films are suitable for degrading in Commercial Composting facilities. The film thickness range is 25 micron – 180 microns.
We have full access to both material technologies to provide fully printed mono and multi layer films for VFFS / HFFS together with premade pouch options for most product application.
