Innovia Films has added NatureFlex NK Matt, developed primarily as a lamination grade, to its range of compostable cellulose-based packaging films.
The film is ideal as the outer web of duplex and triplex structures and is also suitable for use in laminations to other bio-polymers and for extrusion coating.
Organic and Fairtrade companies are already trialling the film for products in the confectionery, dry foods, snacks and beverage sectors.
NatureFlex NK Matt has 97% renewable content (ASTM D6866 Carbon Testing) and meets the European EN 13432 and American ASTM D6400 composting norms. It is also suitable for anaerobic digestion, aiding the diversion of organic wastes from landfill.
Advantages offered for packing and converting by NatureFlex NK Matt include inherent dead-fold, anti-static properties, printability and resistance to grease.
‘Compostable and renewable NatureFlex NK Matt offers manufacturers of natural and organic goods a way to align their packaging message with the spirit of their product marketing at point of sale. If you are looking for a tactile quality pack with sustainable credentials, NatureFlex NK Matt is the answer,’ stated Clare McKeown, Innovia Films’ market manager.
