Sustainable packaging

They can be used to pack a wide range of products such as instant food, spices, coffee, fresh meat, cold cuts, bread, etc.   Moreover, these laminates also meet the guidelines of the “European Strategy for Plastics in a Circular Economy”. This is confirmed by the fact that the BOPP/PPB^TM laminate manufactured by the Segment has obtained the “Made for Recycling” Certificate, documented by tests at the German Fraunhofer Institute in accordance with the bifa Umweltinstitut GmbH methodology.

All proposed solutions guarantee food safety and can be printed using rotogravure or flexographic technology. The properties of PPB^TM and HBF9^TM films make it possible to replace existing 3, 4, 5-layer laminates on the market containing aluminum, plastic and paper in their structure with 2 or 3-layer laminates, characterized by lower grammage and more homogeneous structure. Thus, these laminates are less material-intensive than those used so far, which contributes significantly to reducing the amount of plastic put on the market and its impact on the environment – recipients of these packages introduce an average of 40% less waste into the environment. Moreover, the energy intensity of the product packaging process has been reduced by around 20% through the use of advanced sealable layers. Lower energy consumption is also recorded at the laminate production stage, as only one lamination process is performed instead of two separate ones.
