WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS AND CONTEMPORARIES ARE SAYING ABOUT NATUREFLEX™

Keith Chessell, Cadbury – Australia

“Metallised NatureFlex™ NM was chosen to wrap the Cadbury Flake as it offers both technical and environmental benefits for us and fits in perfectly with our ‘Purple Goes Green’ program to extend the use of biodegradable packaging.”

Mark Aitchinson, Thorntons – UK


Jeroen Kruft, Amigos International – Netherlands

“Amigos International is a long-time distributor of organic products.  We appreciate not only the ecological aspects of the ingredients, but were also looking at packaging to complement this.  That is why we started to look at more environmentally friendly options, which led us to Innovia Films and NatureFlex™.”

Hermann Grauer, Nature’s Farm Pasta - Canada

"We are committed to ecological sustainability and stewardship.  NatureFlex™     is fully sustainable and lessens environmental impact.  The reaction of our customers’ to the packaging has also been very positive and enthusiastic.”
 
Dr Fabrizio Pellegrini, New Factor – Italy



Dr Vie, Dr Vie Inc – Canada

"Our company’s goal is to promote wellness, optimise individual performance and protect the planet in the process.  NatureFlex™ is fully sustainable and aligns beautifully with our core values”.
 
Joe Frankel, Vegware – UK

“I like the fact that NatureFlex™ is genuinely home-compostable, unlike some other bioplastic films which are more suited to commercial composting, which requires higher temperatures.  It looks great, and can be used in flow-wrap machines.  It's also from a fully sustainable source of wood.  We are the only packaging company in the UK not to use any oil-based plastics at all.  So using NatureFlex™ to wrap our cutlery packs was the obvious choice, and means that the entire package is biodegradable.”

George Gelakis, Key West Gourmet Foods – Canada

“We chose NatureFlex™ because it is made from fully sustainable resources and is non-food based.  No other product in the market met our criteria of being sustainable cradle to grave.”
 
Which? Gardening Magazine, May 2009 - UK

“Very impressive – the material breaks down in just a few weeks.”

Johannes Gutmann, Founder, Sonnentor – Austria:

Ruth Andrade, Environmental Officer, Lush – UK:

“Using NatureFlex™ is yet another way Lush has been able to make its packaging more sustainable while still offering sumptuous gift ideas including this alternative to the traditional chocolate Easter egg.”


David Parkes, Twinings - UK:

“As a company we are always looking at ways to lessen our impact on the environment.  By using NatureFlex™ film as the inner wrap in this pack, it not only protects the teabags, but also makes it easier for our customers to reduce their waste through home composting.”

Alan Campbell, ASP Packaging Ltd - UK:

“Having a great deal of experience in working with NatureFlex™ over a number of years and being aware of its green credentials, coupled with excellent machinability and ease of printing, we were delighted to support Twinings’ move to adopt such sustainable packaging.  NatureFlex™ is extremely well suited to automated production like flow wrapping and is also a very easy film to print and convert.”


David Rennie, Marketing Director, Nestlé Confectionery UK:

“Reduced or more sustainable packaging is a key priority for Nestlé and we are delighted that the NatureFlex colour-film range will help QUALITY STREET customers and consumers reduce waste and at the same time ensure consumers are still able to recognise this well-loved brand,”


Steven Karr, Guayaki - California, USA:

“We chose to transition our packaging from plastic bags to foil bags in order to use the most effective moisture and flavor barrier for maximising freshness.  We were delighted to find that NatureFlex™ satisfies those specific technical needs as well as our  GREEN mission and ideals without significantly raising our packaging costs…..The printability of the bags is wonderful and they also have an appealing texture…..We are proud to be raising the bar and trendsetting a new wave of green sustainable packaging with these products.”

Shawn Askinosie, Askinosie Chocolate - Missouri, USA:

"We chose NatureFlex™ to use as a part of the packaging for our chocolate bars because it's a non GM, wood based product that is home compostable.  Our company has implemented vertical sustainability throughout our business practices with everything from the way we source our cocoa beans and our profit sharing program with our farmers, to the products we produce and sell.  Our use of NatureFlex™ is just another important example of our concern for the environment."

Adam Collins, Superfood Snacks - Hawaii, USA:

“Superfood Snacks felt that this special organic raw product needed packaging that was in alignment with the integrity of the company’s visions.  One that was natural, sustainable and biodegradable was our goal.  We invested extensive time and effort in developing this optimum pack and NatureFlex™ has fulfilled all our objectives.”

20th DuPont Awards for Packaging Innovation:

“New fresh produce packaging that uses only renewable and biodegradable materials in support of responsible sourcing, clean production and effective recovery.”

Innovia Films won an award at this event jointly with Earthcycle for their organic kiwi fruit pack overwrapped with NatureFlex™ and carried in
Wal-Mart stores

Sustainable Packaging Leadership Awards – Packaging Association of Canada:

"A most exciting entry - they have clearly thought this through thoroughly, from raw material, to source reduction, and compostability.  This product strongly embodies the criteria for sustainable packaging."

Innovia Films won two GOLD Awards at this event for NatureFlex™

Matt Scott, Bacheldre Watermill - Wales:

“With the introduction of these new BioTAK™ labels made from NatureFlex™, our packaging is now fully sustainable and compostable, is able to achieve biodegradation within just a couple of months and certainly stands out as something special in the flour category.”


Chris Roberts, Barkwheats - Maine, USA:

“The major reason I chose products offered by Innovia Films is the compostability aspect.  I needed a bag to package my dog biscuits that offered great heat sealing capabilities, was inexpensive, and compostable.  Not an easy thing to accomplish, but Innovia did that all!  The fact that NatureFlex™ carries a compostability certification is an enormous advantage.  Our company was founded on principles of sustainability and environmental stewardship.  Innovia has helped us attain all of our goals and keep it within a price point that is easily accessible to any business, large or small.”

Karen Sharman, Gingerbread Folk - Blue Mountains, Australia:

"We were looking for environmentally sound packaging to compliment our all natural gingerbread and ethical business philosophy.  We tried many films but loved the look and feel of NatureFlex™ and found the material's properties the most suitable for our purposes.  The key factor was home-compostability because we wanted to show the Australian public that it was OK to put these bags in their own home compost bins."

Clive Jacob, Packsys - Australia:

“As a plastic packaging converter we have an obligation and responsibility to promote and advise our customers of the compostable and sustainable substrates available.  NatureFlex™ out of all the available materials suits itself extremely well to automated production like flow-wrapping or bag making.  The material requires very little machine adjustment and can run in harmony with conventional materials through the same machine.  NatureFlex™ is also a very easy material to print and convert.  Speeds are not reduced so conversion costs remain on par with other substrates.”
