Packaging films for food are manufactured of several materials with various properties, such as polyethylene films, aluminum foil, and PET films, which must meet high functionality standards. These are called multi-layer packaging. They are not easy to recycle because they include multiple materials.
Temperature Resistance Food Packaging Films to Create Growth Opportunity
The demand for high-gas barrier films for long-term storage is growing in the field of food packaging. Metalized polyethylene terephthalate (PET) films laminated with non-oriented cast polypropylene film as sealant are being used by manufacturers for gas barrier layering. These films are equipped with two materials which makes them difficult to recycle.
PET can be replaced with BOPP material as they are made with similar species of a polymer as a sealant to facilitate the recycling process. But the issue of inadequate gas barrier and temperature resistance limits its application for boil and retort resistance food packaging.
Technological developments for producing temperature-resistant and recyclable films to suit the boil and retort application in food packaging are likely to spur market expansion.
In August 2022, Toray Industries developed BOPP film, Torayfan, which combines the technology of BOPP film structure developed through xEV capacitor applications, together with homogeneous barrier layer processing.
