SÜDPACK’s Commitment to Recyclability

In August 2024, SÜDPACK’s Vice President of Strategic Marketing and Sustainability, Valeska Haux, emphasized the company’s dedication to sustainable packaging solutions. She noted that their packaging achieves over 80% recyclability due to its good separability and the low weight share of the top web. This impressive recyclability metric underscores SÜDPACK’s commitment to addressing environmental concerns through innovative design. The company has already begun implementing the first customer applications of this packaging, setting a benchmark for sustainable practices in the industry.

TOPPAN’s GL-SP Barrier Film

In March 2024, India-based TOPPAN Specialty Films Private Limited (TSF) and its parent company TOPPAN Inc. unveiled a groundbreaking barrier film named GL-SP. This product uses biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) as its substrate, aligning with the growing demand for sustainable materials in packaging. The GL-SP film is designed to meet stringent performance requirements while offering improved recyclability, showcasing TOPPAN’s expertise in combining functionality with environmental responsibility.

Jindal Films’ Bicor MBH568 Films

Also in March 2024, Jindal Films introduced the BICOR 25 and 30 MBH568 films at the CFIA tradeshow in Rennes, France. These innovative PP and PE monomaterial films are engineered to comply with the forthcoming European mechanical recycling criteria. The clear barrier films, branded as Bicor MBH568, are designed for high-speed operation on horizontal form-fill-seal (HFFS) packing machines. By utilizing a novel barrier coating technique and VLTS seal technology, these films deliver superior performance.

One of the standout features of the MBH568 grades is their ability to replace PVC-coated films. They offer comparable water vapor transmission rates (WVTR), oxygen transmission rates (OTR), and aroma barriers while being surface printable. This makes them a versatile and environmentally friendly alternative for various packaging applications.

Market Growth and Future Prospects

The global transparent barrier packaging films market has been experiencing significant growth. In 2023, the market size reached US$ 28.50 billion and is projected to hit approximately US$ 56.39 billion by 2034, expanding at a robust CAGR of 6.40% during the forecast period from 2025 to 2034. This growth reflects the increasing demand for high-performance and sustainable packaging solutions across various industries.
