Innovia's New BOPP Films Revolutionize Sustainable Packaging Solutions
Innovia Films Revolutionizes Flexible Packaging at Fachpack 2025
Innovia Films is making waves at Fachpack 2025 with a host of innovative solutions aimed at revolutionizing flexible packaging design and enhancing recyclability. The company's focus is on enabling the transition from multi-material to mono-material structures, a crucial step towards a circular economy in packaging.
One of the key innovations is the development of ultra-high barrier metallised BOPP films. These films are integrated into recyclable mono-material structures and meet design-for-recycling guidelines without compromising protection. They are engineered to replace foil or MPET, delivering outstanding oxygen and moisture barrier performance.
Innovia's lidding films, equipped with bubble extrusion technology, offer excellent dimensional stability and die-cutting performance, regardless of orientation. This results in improved production efficiency and recyclability. These lidding films can replace traditional paper/foil structures and are designed for direct printing, embossing, and sealing onto polypropylene containers.
The Encore portfolio from Innovia includes BOPP films made with recycled content from three sources: mechanically recycled post-consumer content, chemically recycled food-grade materials, and plastics recovered from marine environments. This portfolio is a testament to Innovia's commitment to sustainability and circular economy.
Innovia's retortable barrier film works in mono-material packaging, further enhancing recyclability. When laminated with CHS or CHT as the outer web and one of Innovia's cast polypropylene films as the sealant, the ultra-high barrier metallised BOPP films meet design-for-recycling guidelines.
PropafilmTM CHS and CHT, designed to replace PET in mono-material laminates, are thermally stable, printable, and dimensionally robust. They offer a sustainable alternative to traditional packaging materials.
Innovia Films has commissioned a new extrusion line in Germany using LISIM stretching technology, which enables the production of PropafilmTM CHS and CHT. This investment in technology is part of Innovia's long-term vision to continuously invest in technology, expand local production capabilities across Europe and the Americas, and collaborate with brands and converters to develop sustainable packaging solutions.
Innovia is also committed to collaborating with brands and converters to develop packaging that meets regulatory and environmental demands without compromise. The company's clear solid white and cavitated BOPP films for banderoles reduce virgin plastic use and improve rigidity and resistance during transport, further contributing to sustainability efforts.
Innovia's AlOx-coated high-barrier films can serve as a recyclable alternative to AlOx or SiOx-coated PET and, when paired with CHS or CHT, offer strong barrier performance even after the retort process.
In conclusion, Innovia Films' innovations at Fachpack 2025 are set to redefine recyclable packaging, offering sustainable alternatives to traditional packaging materials while maintaining high performance and protection. The company's commitment to a circular economy and collaboration with industry partners bodes well for a more sustainable future in flexible packaging.
