Air has developed what it says is the world’s first food-grade soft plastic film
containing Certified Circular Resins (CCR). The new CRYOVAC Brand rBDF S10 film
is made using up to 30% food-grade CCR, which is certified by the International
Sustainability & Carbon Certification (ISCC).
According to Seald Air
the 21 microns ‘ultra-thin’ barrier is a third lighter than widely used HFFS
packs and three times thinner than other thermoformable films. The high gloss
finish and transparent clarity of CRYOVAC Brand rBDF S10 is designed to help
enhance the appearance of food to drive sales and reduce
waste.
Leak-proof closures, hermetic sealing and a protective barrier
further minimise waste by safeguarding food integrity and extending
shelf-life.
The film packaging can be used to wrap foods with or without
trays. The overwrap film with modified atmosphere is ideal for fresh red meat,
poultry, fish, smoked and processed meat, cheese, convenience food and ready
meals.
Arnaud Brunet, fluids and adjacent markets platform director at Sealed Air,
said: “The innovative use of CCR in CRYOVAC Brand rBDF S10 film perfectly
complements the shrink packaging’s ultra-thin, high abuse, mechanical resistance
and anti-fog performance. Together, these form a packaging system well-aligned
with a circular economy that’s aiming to lower waste and increase
resourcefulness."
The company has set a target for creating 100%
recyclable or reusable packaging solutions by 2025.
According to MRC's ScanPlast report,
Russia's estimated PET consumption reached 52,71o tonnes in September 2020, down
by 27% year on year. Overall PET consumption in Russia reached 530,750 tonnes in
the first nine months of 2020, down by 22% year on year.
