Sustainex - sustainable packaging solutions

Mondi offers innovative and novel blown films for Form-Fill-and-Seal(FFS) applications and converted consumer packaging. The bioplastics films from Mondi have excellent print properties, workability, and mechanical properties such as strength, impact, and tear-resistance. Sustainex stands for versatile biodegradable and sustainable packaging materials and features excellent sealability, gas and grease barrier, and thermal resistance.

Benefits

  • Complies to standards for biodegradablility EN 13432
  • Excellent gas & grease barrier
  • Superior printability & processing
  • Unique flexibility due to differential heat-sealability (fin/lap seal)

 

Biodegradability

Biodegradability

This unique portfolio of innovative biodegradable, compostable and recyclable packaging materials is based on biopolymers derived from renewable resources free from genetically modified organisms. Packaging made of Sustainex can help reduce a product’s overall environmental impact.

 

The material used for Sustainex depends on the requirements of the packaging itself. For example, the co-extruded Sustainex film based on vegetable oils features double-sided heat sealability, allowing lap-seal as well as fin-seal and can be used on production machinery with permanently heated sealing tools.

To complete your 'green range' of organic food our bioplastic Sustainex range is your ideal packaging solution.

Sustainex is suitable for a wide range of applications such as:

  • Dehydrated and dried food
  • Fast food 
  • Frozen food and ice cream 
  • Bakery 
  • Dairy products
  • Single-use paper cups and bowls
  • Hygiene and toiletries

EN 13432

Confirmed compostability and biodegradability

Sustainex is certified according to EN 13432, a harmonised European standard that defines the “Requirements for packaging recoverable through composting and biodegradation”.

This norm requires compliance of several aspects:

  • Biodegradation: Tested in a controlled environment (humidity, oxygen, temperature, CO2 production), at least 90% of the organic material must be converted into CO2 within 6 months. Non-biodegradable components must not exceed 1% each and 5% in total (ink, glue).
  • Disintegration: After 12 weeks composting and subsequent sifting through a 2 mm sieve, no more than 10% residue of the original mass may remain.
  • Compostability: Practical test of compostability in an industrial composting facility. No negative influence on the composting process is permitted.
  • Ecotoxicity: Compost application: Examination of the effect of resultant compost on plant growth (agronomic test), ecotoxicity test.
