Futamura, Bio4Pack collaborate for compostable crisp pack

The sustainable pack consists of NatureFlex film, which is made from renewable and responsibly sourced wood pulp, printed and laminated to a layer of metallized PLA. The bio-based, compostable and plastic-free pack is described as an environmentally responsible packaging choice with outstanding barrier properties.

Andy Sweetman, Futamura sales and marketing manager, said: ‘This is a great application and an excellent example of how conventional plastics can be replaced by bio materials for a more sustainable packaging choice. NatureFlex is an ideal laminate film because it is an excellent barrier to moisture, gases and mineral oils.’

Erol Kaynak, myCHIPSBOX founder, added: ‘We are very happy to introduce the first sustainable and plastic-free packaging for crisps in the German market. This is a further milestone on our mission to provide a holistic premium organic offering.’

Futamura and Bio4Pack have also partnered to create a compostable pack for Dutch organic cereal producer De Halm.
