The European Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) has cleared a decisive hurdle, with agreement on the text having been reached. At the core of the PPWR is the recyclability of packaging; polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE) will play a key role here. adapa Group has relied on both materials for some time already, and has now expanded its portfolio of PE laminates for flowpacks.
MonoFlow(re) E-type: The best barrier properties to protect sensitive products
Behind the brand name MonoFlow(re) E-type lies a whole family of PE based laminates from the specialist for flexible packaging solutions. This reflects the enormous experience of adapa Group and is the constantly improving result of many years of development and customer collaborations. Experience from which the Group’s customers can benefit massively today: whether chocolate, cheese, ready meals or dry products, even products with such strong flavours as coffee or products from the Home & Personal Care sector – adapa has references covering almost all markets and products, with both horizontal and vertical flow-wrapping applications. Depending on the customer and product, the Group uses the MDO-PE film CrystalPE, which was developed in-house, as well as BOPE films to produce its high-performance laminates. The decisive factor in deciding which film specification is chosen is its performance when it is with the customer, which is constantly monitored and optimised on site by the Group’s application engineers.
For an attractive, eye-catching appearance at the POS, customers have the luxury of being spoilt for choice: the Group offers high quality rotogravure, flexo or digital printing. The packaging experts are naturally on hand to provide advice and to support their customers in choosing the best technology for their individual requirements. These may be, for example, smaller application quantities or a reduced number of colours –both are ways to decrease the amount of material used while maintaining a high-quality print image.
