Innovia Films : Packaging materials developed in line with PPWR
The material science experts from Innovia will be presenting films that help packaging companies and brands comply with PPWR .
“ We will showcase film solutions with built-in functionalities that enable the switch from multimaterial to monomaterial structures to make flexible packaging recyclable ”, says Alasdair McEwen who leads the packaging division of Innovia in Europe .
“ One big cornerstone of the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation ( PPWR ) is the integration of a certain percentage of recycled post-consumer content into plastic packaging . The inclusion of recycled content in new films is top of the list for much of the industry – moving from a linear to a more circular system ”, McEwen adds .
A key focus is the Encore portfolio that includes films with recycled content from three different sources . From post-consumer mechanically recycled content to chemically recycled food grade

CCL Specialty Pouches : Premium monomaterial pouches for liquid filling goods
Pouches have several advantages over rigid packaging solutions – they are lightweight , very materialefficient and durable .
“ Especially pouches for liquid filling goods have been made from multi-material constructions which are very hard to recycle . Now we have created new monomaterial constructions that have the same barrier properties and functionalities – offered both in polypropylene ( PP ) and polyethylene ( PE ) versions depending on the requirements and filling goods ”, explains Marco Lazzaroni , Sales & Business Development Director at CCL Specialty Pouches , located in Brunello , Italy .
“ We are looking forward to discussing these new constructions at Fachpack 2024 and show how these new pouches can help brands make their packaging bullet-proof for the future and new PPWR legislation .”
