As consumers and brands become increasingly environmentally conscious, understanding the sustainability profile of your packaging materials is important.
Mylar (BoPET) is a durable, long-lasting material — which is both its strength and its environmental challenge. Its excellent barrier properties mean products stay fresh longer, reducing food waste. Studies suggest that food waste has a larger environmental impact than packaging waste in most categories.
Modern manufacturing processes have significantly reduced waste and energy consumption in mylar production. Thinner films with equal barrier performance mean less material per pouch without sacrificing quality.
Recycling infrastructure for multi-layer films is improving. Some municipalities now accept flexible packaging, and specialized recycling programs like TerraCycle offer solutions for materials not accepted in curbside programs.
We're committed to staying current with sustainable packaging innovations and can help you evaluate options that balance product protection with environmental responsibility.
