Innovia – Wildcorn develop fully recyclable sustainable pack

Innovia Films and the German snack manufacturer, Wildcorn have worked together to produce a fully recyclable and sustainable pack for their Wildcorn organic popcorn range.

The 2016 founded Wildcorn in Berlin, produces a range of 100% organic, healthy and flavourful snacks. In 2017 the company launched its first sustainability program in partnership with Mellifera (the German head organisation for bee protection) to offset their use of agricultural resources by planting flower strips to rebuild/maintain ecosystems.

The joint project to establish a new sustainable packaging standard began soon after the launch of Innovia’sPropafilm™ Strata high barrier film which quickly achieved the ‘Made for Recycling’ logo from Interseroh, an Independent German recycling and consultant.

Alasdair McEwen, global product manager packaging, Innovia Films explained, “This certification proves the recyclability of our new Strata BOPP film. It has been designed to be a standalone mono filmic solution or, to be used in laminate constructions to be ‘recycle ready’, or recyclable in countries which have the infrastructure to recycle polypropylene.”
