🎙️ In the latest episode of the Crazy About Packaging podcast, we're taking a deep dive into a groundbreaking material solution that's poised to revolutionize the food packaging industry: Resource Efficient Barrier Alternative, or RE-BA. Join us in Episode 10 as we explore the incredible potential of RE-BA and its profound impact on food packaging safety and sustainability.
Sneak Peek for Episode #10:
🔍 In this episode, we'll unravel the mysteries of "barrier" in food packaging, understanding the critical role it plays in preserving the freshness and safety of our favorite foods. We'll also shed light on the current material solutions employed for barrier applications and the challenges they pose in terms of sustainability. Discover how RE-BA sets a new standard by providing both food safety and environmental responsibility.
What is "Barrier" in Food Packaging?
❓ Before delving into RE-BA, we'll tackle the fundamental question: What exactly is "barrier" in food packaging? Learn how barrier materials create a protective shield against external elements like oxygen and moisture, ensuring food remains safe and shelf life extended.
What Material Solutions are Currently Used for Barrier Applications?
📦 Explore the existing material solutions utilized in the packaging industry, from polypropylene to EVOH and PET. Understand their strengths and weaknesses and discover why these solutions often fall short when it comes to sustainability and recycling.
How Do Typical Solutions Compromise Food Packaging Sustainability?
🔄 Uncover the sustainability challenges posed by laminated or co-extruded materials and their impact on recycling. Learn how certain material combinations can lead to contamination in recycling streams, exacerbating waste issues.
What Does RE-BA Do Differently?
🌱 ICPG's RE-BA offers a game-changing approach to barrier solutions by integrating it within XPP polypropylene structures. Instead of the conventional lamination or co-extrusion, RE-BA creates an efficient barrier through a "tortured path," resulting in a monomaterial solution that can be efficiently recycled in both infrared and water displacement recycling streams. Discover how RE-BA prioritizes food safety and sustainability simultaneously.
