How can recyclable PE/PA films support your circular strategy in flexible packaging?

Polyamide (PA) is a versatile polymer widely used in the flexible packaging industry, because of the combination of mechanical, thermal and barrier properties. This performance makes polyamide excellent for flexible packaging requiring durability and effective protection against external factors. Altogether, these properties finally help to extend product shelf-life and prevent food waste.

Packaging containing polyamide can be recyclable, and UBE has obtained several certifications that guarantee its recyclability according to international norms and standards, such as RecyClass for UBE’s PERFORMANCE PA SC15 with 15% CoPA6/6.6 suitable for recycling within the PE-flexibles stream, and the acknowledgment of recyclability of PE-based film with UBE’S PA6/66 based on the Critical Guidance Recognition of APR (Association of Plastic Recyclers). These certifications are valuable to ensure that the materials and processes used in packaging production are compatible with current and future recycling practices.

Additionally, the use of recyclable content in packaging applications is gaining traction as companies seek to reduce their environmental footprint, and comply with stricter sustainability regulations. Packaging containing recyclable polyamide is an outstanding example of how recyclable materials can be integrated into products of high quality and functionality. This can be applied to food products, storage bags, etc. even cleaning or pharmaceutical applications.
