Scanfill and Sulapac are launching \u201eDegrafoil Flow 1.7\u201c, a bio-based and industrially compostable packaging film. The new solution is aimed at European thermoformers who want to switch to sustainable materials without having to adapt their processes, according to the Scandinavian company.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Scanfill, a Swedish manufacturer of packaging materials, and the Finnish material innovation company Sulapac are joining forces for a more sustainable packaging industry in Europe. With \u201eDegrafoil Flow 1.7\u201c, they are presenting a new film made entirely from Sulapac's bio-based, industrially compostable wood composite. The film can be processed like conventional plastic material in thermoforming systems and should therefore enable an uncomplicated switch to sustainable alternatives, they say.<\/p>\n

Industrially compostable and comparable to PET<\/h3>\n

According to the manufacturer, the new film combines the functional properties of plastic with the advantages of fibre-based materials. Products made from \u201eDegrafoil Flow 1.7\u201c have a smooth, fibre-like surface that differs haptically from conventional plastic. At the same time, the material is scratch-resistant and durable - comparable to PET. In terms of colour, there are virtually no limits to the applications.<\/p>

Sustainability without compromising on workmanship<\/h3>\n

According to Karl Banke, sustainability specialist at Scanfill, reliable quality in thermoforming processing was the decisive factor in favour of Sulapac. \u201eFor a long time, we wanted to include a compostable product in our portfolio, but only Sulapac could fulfil our quality requirements,\u201c says Banke.<\/p>\n

Juho Luukkanen, Sales Director at Sulapac, emphasises the strategic approach: \u201eSulapac wants to make sustainability an easy choice. Together with Scanfill, we can accelerate this vision throughout Europe.\u201c<\/p>\n

The film is produced at Scanfill's plant in southern Sweden in compliance with the regulations for food contact materials. According to the company, the first applications are already available on the market.<\/p>\n
