13 Oct 2022 --- Borealis and the Vibac Group are announcing the development of a new and more environmentally sustainable BOPP-based film for food applications. The film aims to extend shelf life, facilitate recycling and lower carbon emissions. Vibac’s “V-Fresh” BOPP film is produced with a grade from the Bornewables portfolio of circular polyolefins derived entirely from waste and residue streams. Since the product is designed for recycling, the packaging can be sorted into PP waste streams for mechanical recycling, supporting the increase of recycling quotas for flexible packaging formats. “The combination of our BOPP film expertise with the polyolefins and recycling know-how provided by Borealis enables us to satisfy consumer demand for more climate-friendly packaging,” says Alberto De Paoli, Vibac’s general director.
