A thin, transparent sheet known as cellophane is created from recycled cellulose. It is suitable for food packing due to its low permeability to air, oils, greases, bacteria, and liquid water.
In a succession of chemical baths that eliminate contaminants and shorten the lengthy fibre chains in this raw material, wood and cotton pulps are digested to create cellophane.
Cellophane is still primarily made of crystalline cellulose molecules even after it has been transformed into a clear, glossy film with plasticizing chemicals added for flexibility.
Cellophane is particularly permeable to water vapor, however this can be avoided by coating it with nitrocellulose lacquer.Cellophane is a more appealing alternative for businesses looking to eliminate plastic because it shares some of the same characteristics as plastic.
Cellophane is undoubtedly superior to plastic in terms of disposal, however it is not appropriate for all purposes.
The global cellophane based packaging market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
The launch of “REBIOS,” a new line of packaging products manufactured from cellophane and paper produced at Rengo’s Takefu Plant mixed with biodegradable ingredients, has been announced by Rengo Co., Ltd. Ocean plastics and microplastics are challenges that RABIES was created to address.
To obtain a high biomass content and high biodegradability, REBIOS makes the best use possible of cellophane and paper made from biomass. Additionally, biodegradable resin is added to allow for heat sealing and to make it moisture resistant.
REBIOS is appropriate for a variety of packaging uses, including those for food, consumer goods, clothing, and sanitary products.
Rengo intends to increase the REBIOS line in the future, helping to create a more just and sustainable society by producing high-quality packaging with significant added value.
