Packaging composites combining biobased materials and fossil-based plastics

Plastic reduction waste is currently a major concern for consumer and packaging makers. Converters develop composite packaging containing less plastic and subsequently more of a renewable resource including: cellulosic material like paper, cardboard, wood or modified starch…

Composite packaging can be trays, cosmetic tubes, cups…They can be produced by:

• Thermal lamination of a PE/adhesive film with a  cellulosic material;
• Extrusion coating or lamination of PE / adhesive film;

Tie layer for bio-based packaging

SKFP resins are used as tie layers for bio-based packaging, following both trends to reduce fossil-based polymers and plastic content within packaging structures.
