The recyclability targets in the PPWR and the retail style guides range from ≥ 70% to ≥ 90%.

Our Design for Recycling solutions fulfil these targets and are designed to run optimally on standard packaging systems.

With our buoyant top film (density < 1) for MonoAPET trays, we also offer the first peel layer that has been certified as recycling-compatible by the renowned cyclos HTP institute. The overall concept already offers the possibility of using up to 70% recyclates in food packaging

In addition to the use of so-called monomaterials, the main aim on the way to better recyclate qualities is to minimise the amount of impurities.

Printing inks are a very important factor here. They lead to discolouration and outgassing and therefore have negative effects on the recycling process and the quality of the recyclates.

To counteract these effects, we are active as a co-operation partner of the recycling industry and the printing ink industry. By using de-inking processes, various film qualities have been produced from recyclates that have a significantly better optical quality.

PFAS substances are to be gradually removed from the market through regulations in the USA and the EU . In some countries, these legal regulations are already in force, while in other places they are being driven forward.

In recent years, we have succeeded in bringing a PFAS- and MOSH/MOAH-free solution for winders to market maturity, which is compliant in both the European and North American markets.

This laminate guarantees both the grease barrier and the processing properties of the conventional solution and can therefore be used as a drop-in alternative. It is also possible to freeze the product and thus transport it over long distances.

For products that do not require oxygen and/or water vapour barriers, we have succeeded in developing a pure paper-based solution that meets the requirements for disposal via paper recycling in Germany thanks to an exclusively partially applied sealing lacquer.

In order for this packaging to be recycled in the paper recycling system (blue bin) , a proportion of > 95% fibre material is required in Germany. This means that only 5% of the basis weight is available for printing ink and sealing material.

Our paper-based solution is heat-sealable, can also be disposed of in the blue bin in Germany and has a basis weight of just 72g/m².
