Recyclable PP film replacing metallised PET



The challenge

ALMA Packaging was faced with the challenge of replacing a vapour-deposited APET film with a more recyclable alternative. The eye-catching look and the characteristic colour of the packaging had to be retained.



The solution

In collaboration with partners, a customised solution was developed that fulfils both recyclability and the criterion of a captivating look.

ALMA Packaging developed a film solution based on polypropylene (PP) that is highly recyclable without compromising the functionality of the film.
To meet the colouring requirements, ALMA Packaging worked closely with a partner to develop a masterbatch colour solution. This solution made it possible to reliably implement the customer’s desired colour nuances in the manufacturing and converting process.
