A discarded mineral water bottle is obviously easier to enter the recycling system than a plastic bag of laundry detergent and potato chips. In Longdapac’s view, plastic products made of single materials such as mineral water bottles have clear recycling links, high utilization rates, and low reprocessing costs, making them popular in the market. However, plastic products in flexible packaging such as laundry detergent and potato chips are often made by bonding multiple layers of plastic and glue, making recycling difficult.

Longdapac, the global leader in sustainable packaging, uses color printing technology to transform its packaging into a range of new high-quality mono-material recyclable solutions.

Recently, Longdapac has launched a 100% recyclable high barrier mono material multi-layer PE recyclable vacuum film, which has been certified as a 100% recyclable PE product by the recycling center cyclos HTP and the recycling alliance Interseroh.

Sustainable flexible packaging is considered better for several reasons, as it addresses environmental concerns, reduces resource consumption, and aligns with evolving consumer preferences for eco-friendly products.

Sustainable flexible packaging refers to packaging materials and designs that prioritize environmental, social, and economic responsibility throughout their life cycle. The aim is to minimize the impact of packaging on the environment while maintaining functionality and meeting the needs of consumers and industries. Sustainable flexible packaging is part of a broader movement within the packaging industry to address environmental concerns and promote more responsible practices.

Recyclable rollstock refers to a type of packaging material that is designed to be recycled after its use. Rollstock is a continuous sheet or roll of flexible packaging material, commonly used in various industries such as food, pharmaceuticals, and consumer goods. The recyclability of rollstock depends on the materials used in its composition.

When purchasing recyclable rollstock for packaging, several factors should be considered to ensure that the chosen material meets both your sustainability goals and the functional requirements for your specific product.

Recyclable high barrier rollstock refers to a type of packaging material that combines the characteristics of high barrier properties with recyclability. High barrier materials are designed to protect packaged products from external factors like moisture, oxygen, light, and odors, helping to extend the shelf life and maintain the freshness of the contents. Combining these properties with recyclability addresses the environmental concerns associated with packaging waste.

Protecting rollstock during shipping is crucial to ensure that the packaging material arrives at its destination in good condition, ready for use. Here are some tips to help protect rollstock during shipping:

Recyclable rollstock can be a good option for snack packaging, depending on various factors, including the type of snacks, the packaging requirements, and the preferences of consumers.
