Coveris develops recyclable MonoFlex Thermoform packaging for food sectors
Coveris developed a recyclable solution for thermoforming film packaging – MonoFlex Thermoform, a sustainable alternative for thermoforming packaging in food sectors, achieving a carbon footprint reduction.
MonoFlex Thermoform solutions are produced from polyethylene (PE) or polypropylene (PP) and are nylon (PA)-free. Manufactured at Coveris plants in Germany and the UK, MonoFlex Thermoform can be produced from single substrate co-extruded or laminated films depending on product application and print requirements.
With wide operating window, MonoFlex Thermoform maintains packing speeds previously attained and allows a seamless switch.
Coveris recyclable solution is suitable for packaging in various food sectors.
The mono-material solution offers advanced EVOH barrier properties for product protection and shelf-life, as well as strong puncture resistance. It is suitable for a range of bakery items and other applications in meat, fish, poultry and dairy sectors.
MonoFlex Thermoform is available fully unprinted or with a printed top film. The top film is available with conventional and HD flexographic or rotogravure print including matt, gloss and tactile lacquer finishing options, for consumer appeal, attractive on-shelf presentation and the communication of product information.
Product communication can also be achieved on unprinted films as a secondary process with Coveris’ labelling solutions.
“Manufactured across multiple locations supporting or vision for No Waste, our monomaterial, recyclable MonoFlex Thermoform films are a direct replacement for non-recyclable alternatives currently used,” concluded Christian Kolarik, CEO of Coveris.
