To protect dry foods from the environment, they are often packaged in multiple layers. An outer layer, a barrier layer, and an inner layer are standard for many types of packaging. Depending on the specific requirements for barrier properties and shelf life of the product, two to five layers may be used, resulting in an enormous amount of waste. Together with Panverta CPP, Henkel Adhesive Technologies has developed films with an improved oxygen barrier layer that make it possible to reduce the number of packaging layers – a major step forward in terms of sustainability. From October 23 to 25, packaging manufacturers and brand owners can see the results of this collaboration for themselves at Henkel's booth 1C17 at Tokyo Pack 2024.
