Sustainability and Technology as Emerging Trends in Rigid Thermoform Packaging
Leading companies within the rigid thermoform plastic packaging sector are placing strong emphasis on technological advancements that promote sustainability. A key focus is on recyclable monoFlex thermoform packaging, which utilizes a single polymer material to simplify recycling and minimize environmental impact. This innovation represents a shift towards greener packaging alternatives designed to meet increasing environmental regulations and consumer demand.

An Example of Innovation with MonoFlex Thermoform Packaging
For instance, in November 2023, Coveris Flexibles UK introduced MonoFlex Thermoform, a new line of recyclable thermoforming films aimed at replacing conventional non-recyclable materials in the food industry. These films are crafted from monomaterials such as polyethylene (PE) or polypropylene (PP), excluding nylon (PA), which enhances their recyclability. They also provide excellent barrier protection with EVOH, strong resistance to punctures, and extend the shelf life of products like meat, fish, poultry, dairy, and bakery goods. This development highlights how sustainability and performance can be integrated in packaging solutions.
