Layer | Material Choices | Properties |
|---|---|---|
Exterior Layer | Paper, Compostable Film, Plastic Film | Looks nice, easy to print, not much barrier (for paper) |
Middle Layer | Compostable Films, Plastic, Aluminum Foil | Keeps food safe, changes based on what is inside |
Interior Layer | Compostable Films, Plastic | Touches food, heat-sealed for safety, keeps out water (for plastic) |
BN PACK gives you smart pouches with special barrier technology. Your food stays fresh and safe, and you help the planet too. For example, BN PACK’s ReGen Coffee Bags use one material. This makes them easier to recycle. Compostable Coffee Bags use cellulose films and PLA valves from plants. These bags break down in less than 90 days and do not leave microplastics. The ReCircle Coffee Bag uses only recyclable polypropylene and mineral coatings. You can recycle these bags with your regular recycling in many places.
Here are some new eco-friendly pouch materials:
Material | Characteristics |
|---|---|
Polylactic acid (PLA) | Breaks down and comes from plants. |
Cellulose films | Made from plants, can be composted. |
Starch blends | Made from starch, breaks down easily. |
You also see water-based inks for printing. These inks have fewer chemicals and are safer for you and the planet.
