List of Materials and Procedures

Characteristics
Food safe

The packaging can come into direct contact with food. The food packaging is therefore food-safe.

MAP capable

Modified Atmosphere Packaging: Packaging under a modified protective atmosphere. The packaging is able to contain a protective atmosphere.

Sustainable

The product contains at least one sustainable aspect for the environment.

material
Paper

Paper is usually made from fiber. The most important fiber materials include cellulose, wood pulp and waste paper pulp. Further information can be found here: Wikipedia

FSC paper

FSC stands for “Forest Stewardship Council”. The international certification system for more sustainable forestry ensures compliance with sustainable criteria. FSC paper is a certified paper that comes from sustainable and environmentally friendly forest management.

FSC wood

FSC stands for “Forest Stewardship Council”. The international certification system for more sustainable forestry ensures compliance with sustainable criteria. FSC wood is certified wood that comes from sustainable and environmentally friendly forest management.

Bagasse

Bagasse is a purely bio-based material that is completely compostable. It is a by-product of sugar raw production.

PP

Polypropylene is one of the most commonly used plastics. The material has a long shelf life and is largely heat-resistant and is used in a wide variety of areas.

OPP

This is “oriented polypropylene”, the material is stretched in one direction and is therefore more tear-resistant and has a higher rigidity than pure PP film.

P.E

Polyethylene is one of the most commonly used plastics. The material is durable and cold-resistant. Further information can be found here: Wikipedia

PET

Polyethylene terephthalate is a versatile and stable plastic from the polyester family. Further information can be found here: Wikipedia

LDPE

LDPE is a high-quality, smooth and shiny film that is also soft. From a thickness of 50 µm it can also be frozen. Further information can be found here: Wikipedia

rLDPE

This is the recycled version of the environmentally friendly plastic LDPE.

HDPE

The HD stands for “high density” polyethylene. The material has a higher density and is therefore tougher and more dimensionally stable.

PLA

Polylactide acid is a clear bioplastic and is obtained from renewable and natural raw materials. Further information can be found here: Wikipedia

CPLA

The C stands for crystallized PLA. The result is a 100% compostable bioplastic that is heat-resistant up to 85°C.

Nitrile

Is made from natural rubber, is elastic and tear-resistant and suitable for allergy sufferers. Further information can be found here: Wikipedia

latex

The material is stretchy and tear-resistant. A distinction is made between synthetic and natural latex. Natural latex is obtained from the milky sap of the rubber tree, also known as the rubber tree. Synthetic latex is made from petroleum.

Vinyltrile

Is an innovative alternative to natural latex or pure synthetic rubber. The vinyl and nitrile composition ensures improved tear resistance.

Composite

Composites are packaging materials consisting of at least two different materials that are connected to each other over the entire surface and cannot be separated by hand. Further information can be found here: Wikipedia

aluminum

The recyclable material is stable and particularly suitable for transporting hot food.
