I’m green
As the global movement towards a circular, zero-waste economy grows, the demand for more sustainable, responsible products throughout the supply chain is rising in parallel. Our company stays committed to enhancing the contribution of flexible packaging for that purpose, while assisting our customers in realizing their goals for eco-friendly packaging for their products. The BIO-based packaging solutions that we have designed, deliver both functionality and effectiveness, with the lowest possible environmental footprint at the same time.
Replacing traditional film formulations with BIO-based films has a direct positive environmental impact. The carbon footprint benefit lies in the way they are produced. Traditional plastic films use depletable fossil-sourced raw materials, while BIO-based plastics derive from renewable resources instead, that can be grown again. Furthermore, during their production, BIO-based plastics capture CO2 from the atmosphere, contributing to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.
At the same time, BIO-based plastics can be recycled. When combined with our X-CYCLE PE and X-CYCLE POLY recyclable packaging technologies, the BIO-based solutions are recycle-ready too, suitable for the polyethylene and mixed polyolefins recycling streams.
The switch to our BIO-based alternatives is easy and it doesn’t affect the film’s quality, efficiency or performance during packaging. Providing the same technical and protective properties as common plastics, they can be customized as needed to preserve freshness and to meet the most demanding packaging functionality and shelf-appeal requirements.
The technical team of Hatzopoulos S.A. will support you along the process, to choose the best option for your product and reach high rates of BIO-based content in the packaging film formulation. This will help you communicate further a strong sustainability claim with your packaging, such as the “I’m green” logo, making your brand stand out effectively and engage with the environmentally-conscious consumers.
Complementing our metal-free, resource-efficient solutions and the X-CYCLE recyclable packaging range, the BIO-based films we offer within our Green Flexible Packaging Portfolio, are designed for brands with a clear eco-vision, looking to go the extra mile in packaging sustainability.
