The demand for easily recyclable plastic packaging for food and other products is growing, and the demand for sustainable packaging solutions is becoming ever louder. Profol GmbH from Halfing (Upper Bavaria), leading supplier of cast polypropylene films, has now developed various CPP solutions for laminates with BOPP (biaxially oriented PP) in reverse printing. The company has already been awarded the prestigious German Sustainability Prize 2020 (DNP) in the special category of environmentally friendly product packaging ideas for its CPPeel single-material board for sealing food containers.
In response to the ever-increasing demand for recyclable single-material packaging, Profol has invested heavily in research and developed various CPP solutions, including pouches with and without spouts, so-called flow packs, lid top films for FFS trays and sealing boards. The result is a product range of high-quality, recyclable packaging solutions for e.g. mozzarella, yoghurt, hygiene products, soaps, detergents, cheese and sausage or pet food. Further products are currently under development and will soon be ready for series production.
"Together with our partners, we have been able to show in numerous tests at various machine manufacturers for various filling goods that our film can be processed without any loss of productivity", explains Dr. Philipp Schieferdecker, Managing Director of Profol GmbH.
The individual films can be provided with features for sterilisation, pasteurisation, antifog, peelable, tight sealing and low sealing on request. All new packaging solutions from Profol are almost or 100% recyclable and have been confirmed by the Dual System.
