Emerging Trends Highlighting Sustainability and Innovation in the Market
Industry leaders are increasingly focused on developing recyclable and sustainable packaging solutions to reduce environmental impact. Recyclable monoFlex thermoform packaging is gaining traction as a cutting-edge technology. This innovative packaging is produced from a single polymer material, making it easier to recycle and minimizing ecological footprints.
For example, in November 2023, Coveris Flexibles UK launched MonoFlex Thermoform, a recyclable thermoforming film range aimed at replacing conventional non-recyclable materials within the food packaging sector. These films, made from monomaterials like polyethylene (PE) or polypropylene (PP) without nylon (PA), provide excellent barrier properties with EVOH, strong puncture resistance, and extend the shelf life of perishable goods such as meat, fish, poultry, dairy, and baked products.
