New ecovio® portfolio for flexible packaging: multiple barrier options combined with organic or paper recycling
BASF is expanding its certified compostable ecovio® portfolio with new grades that meet increasing recycling needs of flexible barrier packaging. The extended portfolio enables manufacturers of flexible packaging and brand owners to tailor barrier performance and end-of-life options like organics or paper recycling according to application functionalities, processing technologies and regulatory frameworks. The certified home-compostable ecovio® grades can be combined with each other to manufacture different barrier structures based on paper or plastic substrates, enabling the whole packaging to be as high-performing as established packaging solutions while at the same time significantly increasing sustainability. The portfolio is suitable for a wide range of fast-moving consumer goods (FMCGs) packaging, including food and beverages, personal care products, healthcare articles and pet food.
