packaging

Packaging without the guilt? Our great range of plastics can be used to form a wide range of packaging items.  Consumers respond positively to the great natural feel of our materials, their sustainable origins and their potential for composting or digestive disposal.

Proven on high speed conversion equipment, packaging manufactured in our materials won’t cost the earth.  Major brand owners are adopting the sustainability and functionality of our bioplastics to differentiate their product ranges as they target their own sustainability goals.

Bags  

Concerns over litter, the perceived waste of a single use item and the management of bio-waste have made this one of the fastest growing sectors for bioplastics in the early 21st century.  Bioplastics form excellent replacements to conventional oil based materials in this sector with great performance characteristics, strength, good contact clarity and proven high speed production.

Trays

The thermoforming or vacuum forming capability of our bioplastics give excellent strength with good barrier properties for a wide range of tray geometry and end-use applications.  They are proven on existing high speed equipment with normal levels of recycled material.  Bioplastic trays are excellent for the fresh produce supply chain.

Wraps

Our materials can be converted into waterproof and fat resistant film for a wide variety of wrapping and packing eco-options.  A great natural feel and appropriate barrier technology allows products like cheese to breathe on the path to the consumer.  Flexible materials with paper-like dead-fold characteristics broaden the application range.

Insulation

Our plastics are spun, foamed or blown to produce lightweight materials with excellent insulation properties.  Whether you are considering the physical protection of electronic items or absorptive pads for fresh meats, we have a material to suit.

Confectionery/Bread

Bread and confectionery outer sleeves work great in bioplastic.  Functional protection with great take up of print and colour provides great brand differentiation.

Savoury snacks, biscuit and sweet wraps

Bioplastics provide great strength at low weight - the environmental choice that customers are looking for.

 

Bottles for fresh drinks

Our bioplastics can be blown into bottle form and can be used for both cap and label.  A bio-combination for the complete environmental solution.

Tubes for food

Our bioplastics can be used to manufacture extruded tubes.  The end products are smooth, flexible and strong; easily printable and functional across a range of food choices they are ecological and sustainable.  Our materials have food use approval.

Boxes

The strength to provide the necessary support in folded sheet and extruded sections.  Physical protection of dry goods and a gas barrier for fresh foods.  A sustainable replacement to plastic skillets with better moisture resistance than card.

Cheese, burger and pizza wraps

Our bioplastics form water proof and fat resistant film for a wide variety of wrapping and packing eco-options.
