A fully recyclable high-barrier packaging film
A packaging player needed a high-barrier film that protected sensitive products yet remained fully recyclable in existing streams.
High-barrier performance traditionally relies on multi-material laminates that can’t be recycled.
Mono-material alternatives struggled to match the barrier and sealing performance required.
Mapped barrier-coating and mono-material film technologies worldwide.
Scouted coatings, additives and film-structure innovations from outside packaging.
Assessed candidates against barrier performance, recyclability and line compatibility.
Identified recyclable mono-material technologies together with novel barrier coatings.
Selected solution, meeting required barrier performance & recyclability in existing streams, appeared to be a combination of mono-material and waterborne coating.
Connected the client with two technology providers for trials.
