With the introduction of a 3-layer film that meets the European standard for home composting, Bio4Pack has a world first, confirming its leading role in the market for sustainable packaging solutions. The new 3-layer film (recognizable by the compostable logo with code 9P0044) has the highest possible barrier properties, making the film suitable for packaging all imaginable dry products. It finally offers packers of small food packaging (such as chips, bars, etc.) the opportunity to take a major step forward in the realization of corporate social responsibility objectives. Naturally, the film is also suitable for larger packaging.
Nothing or no one stands in the way of the success of this compostable packaging
The new 3-layer film is EN certified for home composting. This means that the packaging perishes within 26 weeks on a compost heap that is not optimized in a controlled manner, as is done by professional composters. The packaging can simply be put on the compost heap in the back of the garden and decay into CO2, water and a little humus. As a result, the success of the packaging is no longer hindered by third parties (such as policy makers and waste processors), so that compostable packaging stands for the major breakthrough.
The answer to new laws and regulations
The new film already provides an answer to the changing legislation and regulations in France. The French government has decided that the term ‘compostable’ can only be used when it comes to composting at home. Renewable raw materials are the basis of the new packaging, which means that the film has the 4-star biobased certificate.
Bio4Pack is proud of the certification achieved, but thinks it is even more important that producers and packers can immediately benefit from the new film. The film is now available and is produced at sister company Euroflex. It is a packaging that is manufactured in Europe from raw material to end product. The film can be printed in a maximum of 8 colors and can be processed using a cold seal. In short, nothing stands in the way of Bio4Pack and the packers throughout Europe to take the next step towards sustainable packaging. Launching customer Kencko will use the new 3-layer film for packaging freeze-dried fruit and vegetables, which makes it easy to make healthy and tasty smoothies.
