These bio-films are based strongly on renewable resources (wood-pulp from managed plantations) and are certified to the European (EN13432) and American (ASTM D6400) norms for Industrially compostable packaging. In addition, the majority of grades have been certified by TÜV Austria to the OK Compost Home standard for home composting and certain grades have been proven to biodegrade in a waste-water environment. Further testing has proven that most NatureFlex™ grades are also suitable for anaerobic digestion. To further support the positioning of NatureFlex™, a peer reviewed LCA has been carried out by Thinkstep, based on their GaBi software, allowing transparent communication of the environmental impacts of using these films. NatureFlex™ films use novel heat seal-resins on each side. They are static free and offer a super wide heat seal range for outstanding machine performance. The films offer good gas barrier properties and the coatings can be tailored to provide varying degrees of moisture barrier, depending on the needs of the wrapped product. Four aspects for the development of these films have been vital to ensure that each product performs technically and environmentally: NatureFlex Film Types Uncoated Semi-Permeable Barrier Metallised Labels Heat Resistant Biodegradation Video by Dr. Lucy Cowton © Futamura Group 2021 Privacy policy Terms of use Cookie policy Modern Slavery Statement ASIA PACIFIC Futamura Chemical Co, Ltd. 2-29-16, Meieki, Nakamura-ku, Nagoya, Aichi, 450-0002, Japan Tel: +81 52 562 1841 EUROPE Futamura Chemical UK Ltd.
