Flexible packaging offers the opportunity to balance sustainability
Food manufacturers work intensively to create packaging that interacts and creates interest with consumers. Flexible packaging offers the opportunity to balance sustainability, protection and the convenience that consumers demand. Flexible packaging addresses these key producers through material and resource efficiency, increased shelf life that prevents food waste, high product-to-packaging ratio, transport advantages due to low weight and reduced materials for destruction.
Michelman experts develop new materials and coatings with a “sustainability first” approach that prioritizes health and safety during use and recyclability after use. Our next-generation primers, barrier coatings, topcoats and heat seal coatings offer increased functionality while maintaining sustainable packaging, with options to reduce waste, provide product protection and use fewer raw materials.
