The term “multilayer packaging” refers to the employment of several materials that are closely linked to produce a package structure. The majority of food packaging has layers. Layers are frequently visible, like in the case of the laminated layers of polymers, paperboard, and aluminum in Tetra Pak’s iconic brick-shaped cartons.
The thin layers coextruded within polymer films and the coatings put to paperboard boxes are two examples of other layers that are less obvious. Layered food packaging minimizes package resources, enhances brand operations, reduces distribution damage, facilitates retail presentation, and protects food in a specific way.
The Global Food packaging multilayer film 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 development of a cutting-edge multi-layer film for packaging food was a joint effort by SABIC, DSM, and Viscofan.
The film combines layers of circular polyamide (PA) from DSM Engineering Materials and certified circular polyethylene (PE) from SABIC’s TRUCIRCLE portfolio to create a more environmentally friendly packaging solution without sacrificing the high functional and aesthetically pleasing performance demanded in the fresh food packaging market.
The end result is a multi-barrier packaging film that captures the value of used plastic as a feedstock for new food-grade materials. It is made by Viscofan, a global leader in casings for meat products, and is intended to help increase product shelf life, thereby reducing food waste.
The goal of the solution is to meet the growing demand from customers and end-users for packaging goods that can significantly lower the society’s environmental impact.
These kinds of connections are essential for supplying the packaging market with products that are both economically feasible and environmentally friendly.
The certified circular goods in their TRUCIRCLE range can help protect the environment, assist packaging companies in meeting their sustainability goals, and aid the food industry in preventing plastic waste.
Without sacrificing the quality of the final product or the safety of the food, the certified circular materials provide drop-in alternatives for replacing fossil-based plastics in the packaging sector.
