31 Aug 2020 --- Sealed Air has introduced chlorine-free vacuum shrink bags to help food processors and retailers improve food safety and advance the circular economy. The CRYOVAC brand OptiDure Bags (ODF4005) are made from a carefully selected range of resins that deliver a highly protective chlorine-free EVOH barrier to extend shelf life, reduce waste and safeguard food during distribution, storage and retail. The total packaging weight is reduced by more than half in the high-tech generation of multilayer, coextruded shrink bags, enabling operators to lower carbon footprints by up to 39 percent compared to standard bags, the US-headquartered supplier indicates.
