Innovia Films, a major manufacturer of BOPP films, extends their range of sustainable films, which have been marketed under the brand name Encore.

Innovia Films extends the range of sustainable films.

With the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) proposed by the EU, it is important to integrate a certain percentage of recycled post-consumer content into plastic packaging.

“Innovia is working with the whole value chain in initiatives like CEFLEX (Circular Economy for Flexible Packaging) to increase the recycling of this flexible packaging back into film,” said Steve Langstaff, Head of Recycling.

The extended Encore range of sustainable BOPP films include the use of chemical recycled polymer for food contact applications and mechanically recycled PCR for non-food use. The company is also working closely with Prevented Ocean Plastic and have developed a film with 30% POP material.

Not only the key functionality of the sustainable films remains intact, environmental credentials are further improved, by reducing the use of fossil-based virgin materials and replacing with bio-based polypropylene. This reduces the carbon footprint of the films.

All products under the brand Encore are now available for trial.
