FAQ
Because recyclers can achieve value from collecting, sorting and reprocessing PE film from household waste. The resulting PCR can be used in the production of blown PE film and used again for flexible applications.
Our oriented PE is a combination of carefully selected, high performance resins and specific processes. It is used in multilayer, but monomaterial, laminates. Each layer endows the material with the specific functional properties that the packaging application requires (barrier, rigidity, easy tear, peelability, etc.).
The outer surface of the laminate possesses enhanced thermal resistance and it is combined with a sealant layer that initiates the sealing at lower temperatures. Using both properties EcoLam is able to achieve a suitable operational window to perform well in the packing lines.
The different structures and grades included in the EcoLam family are tailored for a wide variety of formats: i.e. stand-up-pouches, pillow bags, 4-side-seal sachets, stickpacks, flowraps, bag-in-box, tubes, etc.
EcoLam as material can be claimed as recyclable. In fact, EcoLamHighPlus has been the first high barrier material to receive a technical approval from Recyclass within the LDPE-recycling stream. Packages made from EcoLam, EcoLamPlus and HighPlus can also be assessed by Recyclass methodology to determine the recyclability class ranking.
