Southeast Asian film manufacturer A.J. Plast has developed biaxial-oriented polyamide (BOPA) films that adopted BASF’s Ultramid biomass balance polyamide, which is derived from renewable raw materials.
It says food packaging made from the new film helps maintain food quality as it provides oxygen, moisture and aroma barriers as well as heat and chemical resistance.
It is ideal for vacuum packaging, retortable pouches, and cold form blisters for sausages, cheese and curries.
According to The Nielsen Global Survey on Corporate Social Responsibility 2016, 63% of consumers in Asia Pacific said that their sustainable purchase considerations are most influenced by packaging.
The BOPA film has the same properties as BOPA film made with conventional polyamide based on fossil raw materials.
