Green polyethylene (PE) is growing with Tetra Pak, General Mills and Danone adopting the technology but is not yet at full capacity, according to Braskem.
A distribution agreement has been signed to provide renewably resourced polyethylene (Green PE) packaging to an “increasingly interested” European food packaging market.
European food manufacturers will soon have access to renewable polyethylene as a result of a new alliance between Brazil-based Braskem and a German bioplastics producer.
Borstar introduces a new grade of polyethylene (PE) film along with
an upgrade to its technology, which the company claims will help
food packagers to downgauge and increase production speeds.
US-based Zip-Pak is to showcase a number of zipper innovations at
Pack Expo in Las Vegas, 13-15 October, 2003, including its
Quick-Zip Slider, the Transverse Direction Zip-Pak Slider, and
polypropylene-compatible zippers.
