Moving towards
Sustainable
Packaging

Working towards
converting complex
multi-material stuctures
to mono-material structures

Consumers today, especially Millennial consumers, are willing to pay more for products from companies with sustainable values and practice. This trend will grow in years to come. More & more companies will choose sustainable options going forward.

Majority of Brand owners have committed to using recyclable, biodegradable or compostable packaging by 2025 in place of difficult-to-recycle multi-layer plastic packaging.

Sustainable packaging is our priority. Phoenix Flexibles will offer sustainable packaging under “Econix brand”.

CONVENTIONAL

  • By using hydrocarbon-based packaging materials
  • Advantage of multiple options & down gauging of films
  • Application Formats: Roll stock & Pouches

RECYCLABLE

  • By using hydrocarbon-based packaging materials from same polymer family 100 % Recyclable
  • Substitutes for PET/PE printed & laminated Films & pouches
  • Can use Post Consumer Recyclate (PCR) content Films
  • Application Formats: Roll stock & Pouches

BIODEGRADABLE & COMPOSTABLE

  • By using resins from bio-based source or by using certified compostable Films
  • Biodegradation & Composting breaks down the FILMS into natural substances
  • Application Formats: Roll stock & Pouchespouches

Flexible Packaging can be classified into three categories based on its source & its environmental impact.

Conventional hydrocarbon-based packaging material with different polymers is a single-use product. Recycling of such films is not possible & usually, end-of-life will be land-fil.

Phoenix Flexibles is focussing circular economy with Recyclable Packaging. Recyclability can be achieved by using Mono-Material flexible packaging that uses one polymer only for different layers - most often polyethene & polypropylene.

Globally, companies are working to convert their non-recyclable – multi material packaging structure into simple packaging structure with mono material, that can be 100 % recyclable.

Thanks to extensive research, MDO PE films can match transparency & stiffness of PET films, thereby converting PET/PE structure to recyclable PE/PE structure. MDO PE FILMS will be used to replace PET film, thereby making laminate 100 % recyclable while retaining same gloss & stiffness.

Recyclable films are seen as a major alternate for Sustainable Packaging & is being accepted by major Global FMCG companies.

Phoenix Flexibles will have an advantage as early entrant into MDO PE film offering through investment into Inline MDO PE FILMS Line from Hosokawa Alpine, Germany.

Launching RP 100% Recyclable & Mono-material Films

Econix RP is 100% recyclable printed & laminated roll stock films & pre-made pouches.

Econix RP is Mono-Material flexible packaging that uses one polymer only for different layers - most often polyethene & polypropylene.

Multi-material flexible packaging is made of two or more materials laminated together by adhesive. Due to the multi-material structure, recycling of such films is not possible & usually, end-of-life will be land-fil. MDO PE films can match the transparency & stiffness of PET films, thereby converting PET/PE structure to recyclable PE/PE structure.

Econix RP roll stock & pre-made pouches are 100% recyclable while retaining almost the same gloss & stiffness. Econix RP is offered with either all polyethene or polypropylene material.

There is enormous interest from major FMCG brands for ‘Sustainable Packaging Options’. Econix RP offers the benefits of recycling and provides decisive competitive advantages:

  • Realizing company’s sustainability goals
  • First mover advantage
  • Differentiation from competitors
Econix RP pouches provides the consumer a more sustainable proposition of recyclability:
  • The same end-use convenience – fully or partial
  • Recyclable where PE film recycling stream is available
  • Waste diversion from land-fill
Econix RP Advantages:
  • The reverse-print outer layer can be run gravure or flexo at a thickness of 20μm
  • Film can be printed on surface or reverse
  • The film has excellent transparency
  • The outer surface is inherently heat resistant, approx. 20°C higher than sealant PE
  • Print effects like Matt varnish is possible
  • Film Metallizing for increased barrier properties
  • Film property can be tuned through our inhouse quality team
End-use Market Applications:
  • Frozen vegetables, chicken, fish, fruits, etc
  • Breakfast cereals, rice, sugar
  • Pet food (need to check barrier properties)
  • Flour products
  • Grains, lentils, peas, beans, corn, chickpeas, wheat, etc
  • Detergents, laundry and dishwashing packs
