Mono-material film
What is mono-material film?
Mono-material plastic film is a type of plastic film made exclusively with a single type of material. Unlike multi-material films, mono-material film consists of just a single resin, which simplifies its management, recycling and use.
What are the main applications?
Mono-material plastic film finds numerous applications in various sectors. It is used for both food and industrial packaging and even in sectors that require strength, lightness and a strong barrier against moisture, light and contamination.
Why does it guarantee greater recyclability?
Separating materials is one of the main obstacles in the process of recycling polymers. Mono-material plastic film, consisting of a single type of material, is thus much easier to recycle compared to multi-material films. Indeed, the use of a single material renders it easier to introduce the films into the recycling chain, reducing contamination.
What are the advantages of mono-material film?
- Better recycling for easy separation and processing make it easy to create new recycled products.
- A more sustainable life-cycle means reducing environmental impact.
- Versatility and strength makes this material suitable for multiple applications with high performance.
- Compliance with environmental regulations meets the growing needs of sustainability and recycling imposed by global legislation.
