Thinking of tomorrow – Taking responsibility

Our material selection at a glance

Flexible Plastic

Virgin, PIR & PCR, Wildplastic

Both new and recycled plastic films that save CO₂ and can be recycled again.

The use of so-called industrial recyclates (PIR = Post-Industrial Recycled materials) and post-consumer recyclates (PCR = Post-Consumer Recycled materials) conserves natural resources and significantly reduces CO₂ emissions compared to the production of virgin material. This means you are using recycled, lightweight, and durable plastic films that can also be recycled multiple times.

Compostable Materials

PLA · Natureflex™ · TIPA®

Biodegradable alternatives to plastic films – for legal requirements or out of personal conviction.

There are many reasons to choose packaging made from compostable materials. Be it your product-packaging concept, legal regulations, a lack of recycling systems, or simply your own conviction. By using these films, we can jointly counteract the high volume of waste caused by conventional packaging films.

Paper

Kraft paper · Glassine

Renewable raw materials, FSC®-certified and sealable – a true alternative to film.

Paper packaging has become indispensable in food production, logistics, and retail today. It is considered a sustainable and versatile alternative to classic film packaging.

Since paper alone is not sealable, we have developed an innovative solution: individual, recyclable paper packaging in various designs – functional, sustainable, and optimally tailored to your requirements.

All products can also be manufactured with a climate contribution to offset CO₂ emissions.

The CO₂ emissions generated by production are reduced through a recognized climate protection project – added value for people and the environment.

What we do today determines what the world of tomorrow looks like.
