Schur Flexibles at FachPack 2018: boosting sustainability in packaging by recycling valuable resources and avoiding waste. FlexiClose, an innovative packaging concept by Schur Flexibles Group, will be presented at FachPack. FlexiClose offers optimal product protection, consumer-friendly use, attractive optics and excellent recyclability. Used in combination with C-base PP bottom web, this state-of-the-art top film results in a fully recyclable reclosure solution with high barrier properties for MAP packaging. Due to these exceptional features FlexiClose(re) was awarded the German Packaging Award in the sustainability category.
Mastering technical challenges: a reclosable, polyolefin-based top film
FlexiClose has outstanding environmental credentials due to the fact that it is a polyolefin-based film. Unlike comparable top films which are mostly manufactured from multilayer composite materials, FlexiClose is sustainable and highly recyclable. The product’s structure simplifies the separation of materials during the sorting process at the MRF (materials recovery facility), thus enabling the recycling process. There are many recycling options available to polyolefin-based products, ensuring that a high-grade recyclate with excellent usability for subsequent packaging solutions is produced.
