Everybody is talking about sustainability these days, but just what does it mean in the context of flexible packaging?
For Innovia Films, sustainability in packaging is about looking at all aspects of packaging throughout the supply chain. In practice, that means evaluating the four key stages in the chain and understanding the associated impacts.
Hence we need to consider:
- Where do our raw materials come from?
- How do we transform them into our products?
- How do they enhance packaging performance?
- What can we do with the materials after use?
Our Commitment to NatureFlex™
At Innovia Films, we are dedicated to optimising the sustainability of all our raw materials and reducing our environmental impact, whilst maintaining the functional properties and wide range of end-of-life options for NatureFlex™.
NatureFlex™ provides tangible answers to all four key stages below:
Our Commitment to Propafilm™ and Rayoface™
Whilst the technical benefits of BOPP films are well understood and our manufacturing process for these materials has been optimised over the years, our raw materials are based on fossil fuels and the end of life options remains limited. At Innovia Films, we are committed to working on these two areas through Research and Development.
