“Consumers are demanding sustainable products that are recyclable or compostable, as they wish to contribute to a better environment, starting with what they consume and in reducing packaging waste”. Said by Alex Hayden, senior VP, R&D, innovation and sustainability, TC Transcontinental Packaging.
It is worth mentioning that there are already recyclable flexible packaging on the market, Today I would like to introduce you the PE/PE structure for recyclable pouches.
First of all, let’s know about the structure of PE/PE:
When Polyethylene(PE) printed film is laminated to another layer of polyethylene(PE) ,we call it as PE/PE,it not only provides high strength and durability but also can be recycled due to its mono film structure. However, it is almost impossible to recycle when using PE and other material to compound a film.
Secondly, the key benefits from PE/PE pouchesas following:
At last, let's be clear what is the application of the PE/PE pouches:
The PE/PE mono film has widely been used for flexible packaging pouch like stand up pouch, doypack, flat bottom pouch, these standing pouch improved shelf presence as well as contributed to a more circular economy.
In my views, the pouches used PE/PE structure will become mainstream of packaging,because it is really good for products packaging, like dry fruits packaging, coffee packaging, and the sustainability of PE/PE pouches attract more and more industries now.
