DESIGN-4-RECYCLING BARRIER

BECAUSE CIRCULARITY PROTECTS THE PLANET’S RESOURCES.

Simply put me in the middle

I am a middle layer in flexible composite packaging or blow molded bottles and containers. I can either replace an existing layer or fit between them. My strong adhesion makes me stick easily. You can even colour me if you want to.

Disassembling is my superpower

When it’s time to recycle, I simply dissolve and biodegrade in the recycling process as water is added. This makes it easy to quickly separate the remaining layers, resulting in mono-materials for recycling.

I provide function if needed

As a barrier layer I protect the packaging content from environmental influences and increase shelf life. For example, when replacing EVOH, I provide the required oxygen barrier as well as grease and solvent resistance. Unlike EVOH, I enable recycling of the other layers.
