Recycled Plastic Food Films

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

This Sealed Air Packaging Contains Certified Circular Resins (CCRs)

— December 3, 2020 — Eco
This Sealed Air recycled plastic food film has been developed by the company in a bid to help bring enhanced sustainability to the industry and help the brand strive towards its eco initiatives. The new film -- titled the CRYOVAC Brand rBDC S10 film -- is made with 30% food-grade Certified Circular Resins (CCRs) without the need for additional layers or heft. The product comes in at 21 microns and is reported to be a third lighter than the existing HFFS packs on the market as well as three-times thinner than other thermoformable films.

Fluids and Adjacent Markets Platform Director Arnaud Brunet spoke on the new Sealed Air recycled plastic food film saying, "The innovative use of CCR in CRYOVAC Brand rBDF S10 Film perfectly complements the shrink packaging’s ultra-thin, high 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.”
