Hurrah for Infinity Foods!

NatureFlex NK, a high barrier compostable cellulose-based material manufactured by Innovia Films, has been chosen by organic food wholesaler, Infinity Foods, to wrap its range of snack packs.

The transparent material was launched in 2008 and offers not only compostability, but also a moisture barrier approaching that of co-extruded OPP. This means it has the best moisture barrier of any transparent single layer biopolymer film currently available.

NatureFlex offers a sustainable solution for the packaging in this application as the film begins life as a natural product - wood - and breaks down at the end of its lifecycle in a home compost bin (or industrial compost environment) within a matter of weeks. It also offers advantages for packing and converting such as inherent deadfold and anti-static properties, high gloss and transparency, resistance to grease and oil, good barrier to gases and aromas, print receptive surface and a wide heat-seal range.

NatureFlex films are certified to meet both the European EN13432 and American ASTM D6400 standards for compostable packaging. The material typically has a renewable biobased content of some 95% by weight of material.
