High Barrier Mono Polymer Recyclable Bags for Pet Food Packaging by Nestlé Purina
Manufacturer: Uflex Packaging Inc.; flexfilm.com
Description: This 14 kg pet food package in a fully recyclable structure is an innovation for pet food packaging that successfully replaces multi-layer packaging with a top polyethylene terephthalate layer. This development includes all polyethylene layers, which is done by converting multi-layers to a mono polymer-based structure, transforming into a new packaging structure that is fully recyclable. The package has laser scoring, a straight and easy tear profile for consumer convenience that allows easy opening of the bag, and good standability on the retail shelf. The mono polymer bag has excellent mechanical properties and can sustain all packing and transportation conditions.
