In the context of population growth and decreasing resources, a global challenge is posed in the fight against food waste. UBE Nylon offers flexible packaging solutions designed to address this challenge and adapt to new market trends, especially in the complex environment of e-commerce.
The primary focus is on reducing inefficiencies in the food supply chain rather than simply increasing production. Additionally, a significant percentage of food production is wasted, resulting in huge economic losses and a greater contribution to global CO2 emissions.
UBE’s performance packaging with nylon for food packaging offers several benefits, including longer shelf life, lighter weight, puncture and temperature resistance, and improved handling safety. It’s also important to highlight UBE’s commitment to sustainability compared to conventional packaging formats, emphasizing reduced use of raw materials, energy, water, and lower CO2 emissions.
Furthermore, the focus on sustainability extends to the recyclability of UBE’s flexible packaging materials, contributing to the preservation of natural resources. This emphasis on extending the shelf life of food prevents and reduces early decomposition, thereby decreasing greenhouse gas emissions in landfills.
Regarding the comparison between polyamide and polyethylene as packaging materials, polyamide offers a lower overall thickness and significantly lower carbon footprint, making it a more sustainable option.
UBE’s flexible packaging technology with nylon is applied in various applications such as vacuum bags, thermoforming, shrink films, and packaging for sausages and retort pouches, demonstrating its versatility and ability to adapt to different packaging needs.
Certainly, UBE offers extensive technical support and laboratory testing to ensure optimal performance of packaging materials and to assist customers in solving extrusion problems, designing film structures, and improving overall packaging performance.
