We show technologies and film structures that enable producers to build a functioning business model around sustainability,” said Marcel Perrevort, CSO of Reifenhäuser.

MDO technologies for recyclable mono-material packaging

The Reifenhäuser Blown Film and Cast Sheet Coating units will present their latest MDO (Machine Direction Orientation) technologies, which enable recyclable mono-material packaging by film stretching.

Reifenhäuser MDO blown film process and cast sheet coating process enable mono-PE packaging.

Thanks to ever thinner film structures (downgauging) and clever technology features, Reifenhäuser systems reduce production costs to the same level as conventional products.

Both business units focus in particular on barrier applications for the food, medical and hygiene sectors.
