Innovia has worked with Interseroh, an independent German recycling and consulting company, to have its newly launched high barrier BOPP Propafilm Strata SL film evaluated, with the film being awarded a Made for Recycling logo.
Interseroh analyse and evaluate the packaging based on sound criteria along with the entire after-life processes.
The result of its stringent analysis is a scale which determines whether the packaging is non-recyclable through to very good.
Alasdair McEwen, Global Product Manager for Packaging at Innovia Films, said: “This certification proves the recyclability of our new Strata BOPP film.”
“As it is a mono structure, the film performs much better in recycling than composite films and can be added to the PP closed loop and reused.”
Propafilm Strata provides a very effective barrier to aroma, mineral oils, and oxygen, even at high relative humidity levels, ensuring increased shelf life and reduced food waste.
The film is suitable for use in a range of markets, is printable, and offers and wide seal and hot tack range.
