Consumers and retailers are becoming increasingly concerned about
packaging waste, in particular the amount going to landfill.
LINPAC Packaging has responded to retailer and consumer concerns by
to creating OxoLIN, a new degradable polythene based cling film ideal
for any food product. The latest addition to LINPAC's range of
stretch films will also reduce the environmental impact of any
irresponsible littering.
OxoLIN has the same high quality properties as LINPAC's existing
range of stretch films and complies with EU plastic food contact
directives, as well as packaging and packaging waste directives.
The oxo-degradable film contains specially formulated natural
additives which allow it to break down slowly into fragments of
molecular chains which can be assimilated by micro-organisms after
its useful life, when exposed to light and heat.
Available in either mother rolls or refill rolls, the film offers
excellent clarity and cling and is resistant to tearing.
The film has a shelf life of over 12 months but will degrade after
use in one to four years, addressing waste management issues.
Patrice Blayo, Product Manager for stretch films at LINPAC Packaging,
said: "The food industry has been asking for a degradable film
to meet environmental concerns. We have responded by creating OxoLIN
and ensuring its properties meet the high standards already set by
our range of stretch films. The natural additives have been carefully
selected to ensure the performance of the film is not affected." |
