Henkel and Siegwerk have jointly developed a solution for recyclable flexible packaging. An oxygen barrier makes food packaging highly recyclable, as the packaging is made from a single material.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Representatives of the companies met in 2019 at the K-Fair<\/a> and agreed to jointly develop a Oxygen barrier coating for more recyclable food packaging<\/strong> to develop. They are now preparing the market launch of this solution in North America and Europe and will present it at two trade fairs: K-Fair in D\u00fcsseldorf and Pack Expo in Chicago.\u00a0<\/p>

Working closely together, the companies shared their knowledge and explored ideas on how a barrier solution for flexible packaging can be created without compromising shelf life<\/strong>. The result? An industrially validated oxygen barrier coating that enables flexible packaging from a single material for dry foodstuffs and saves recyclers the problem of mixing materials. The product was recently recognised as recyclable by the APR (Association of Plastics Recyclers) Critical Guidance.<\/p>
