The four pieces of the Sustainable Packaging Jigsaw Start of Life Process End of Life Performance 8
Substantiation of biofilm credentials NatureFlex TM Start of Life - High levels of readily renewable raw materials. - NatureFlex uses Managed Forestry sources only. FSC Chain of Custody targeted for 2013. - Independent Sustainability protocols (e.g. ISCC+) emerging for other biomaterials. Process - Independently verified, NatureFlex LCA conducted & carbon footprint visible on-line - InnPrint: Joint work by Innovia Films and PE International to provide valid comparative measurement tool for bioplastic & conventional laminates. Performance - NatureFlex provides the Highest H 2 0 & O 2 barrier of any bioplastic film - Heat resistance - Laminate with alternative biofilms to provide enhanced tear-resistance, seal strength and seal-integrity End of life - Use of compatible materials where practical to provide the scope to access a wide range of End of Life options: - Certified compostability to all global standards - Certified Home compostable - Independently tested and proven A.D. compatible - Also suitable for incineration with energy recovery - Marine biodegradable 9
Get it right and you can deliver: Start of Life End of Life Process Labelling Performance >90% Renewable raw materials Sustainability certified raw materials Low carbon impact Equivalent transparency, clarity and tack versus conventional techniques Multiple end of life solutions, chosen specifically with the application in mind Enhanced customer marketability At minimal on-cost 10
Sustainability Wheel A rapid view of Cradle to Grave Performance Criteria Employed: Renewable Content: - 5 bands: <5%, 5 to 24%, 25 to 49%, 50 to 74%, 75%+ Process - Carbon footprint (other metrics can also be set) Worst Pack Performance - Moisture barrier and Oxygen transmission versus reference material End of Life - Landfill -1pt - Incineration, Industrial Composting, Home/backyard Composting, Anaerobic Digestion compatibility, Marine-degradable all score + 1pt.
