Food needs packaging that can break down with it. Natur-Tec® can help!
Why Use Compostable Packaging?
Even when conventional plastics are recyclable, they often don’t make it there. Food residue can prevent recycling from being a possibility. This waste then gets redirected to another source, often a landfill.
That’s where compostable comes in: when looking at sustainable food packaging options, compostable packaging is a great fit for any application that comes into contact with food because the packaging and food can break down together in a composting facility.
Compostable food packaging gives a sustainable pathway of disposal that is designed with end-of-life in mind.
Sustainable Food Packaging Designed for Manufacturing
Natur-Tec® laminates are engineered for high performance and can be easily processed on conventional manufacturing equipment.
They are designed for lamination as a sealant layer to a variety of substrates such as paper and other compostable films.
Material Breakdown: A Three-Layer Structure
Print Layer | Paper or Natur-Tec® BF7003
Natur-Tec® BF7003 is a high-performance, high clarity, biobased, and compostable blown film designed specifically for flexible packaging applications. BF7003 meets the requirements of international standards for compostable plastics such as ASTM D6400 (U.S.), EN13432, and ISO 17088.
Barrier Layer | Natur-Tec® IXF7008 Metallized Film
Natur-Tec® IXF7008 is a metallized film that can be laminated to other print substrates such as paper or other compostable clear biopolymer films to provide an excellent moisture and oxygen barrier. IXF7008 meets the requirements of international standards for compostable plastics such as ASTM D6400 (U.S.), EN13432, and ISO 17088.
Sealant Layer | Natur-Tec® XF7301
Natur-Tec® XF7301 is a high-performance biobased and compostable film designed to achieve excellent seal strength. It features a low seal initiation temperature with a broad seal window for strong, airtight seals.
Regulatory
Natur-Tec® XL730Z compostable polymer resin is compliant with food contact regulations (EC) 1935/2004, (EU) 10/2011, and its amendments through (EU) 2019/37.
