Integrated solutions for recycle-ready high barrier packaging from BOBST and partners
With oneBARRIER solutions, BOBST and industry partners have undertaken a design and testing project that is creating industrially viable recycle-ready mono-material ultra-high and high barrier duplex and triplex substrates for packaging designers as alternatives to non-recyclable metallized polyester film. Developed with leading industry partners, the family of BOBST oneBARRIER sustainable solutions to date includes PrimeCycle, comprising EVOH and topcoat-free transparent AlOx-based or opaque AluBond-based full PE mono-substrates, and FibreCycle, a mono-material high-barrier paper-based structure coated with functional layers that can be recycled in the existing paper stream.
The BOBST & Partners oneBARRIER solutions are the outcome of joint process and equipment development and testing. The advantages for converters include:
- Integrated package solution: process-machine-output in one flow
- Knowledge of both coating and vacuum metallizing equipment technology and processes from a single supplier
- Different kinds of raw material specifications, coating, and adhesive chemicals
- Guaranteed barrier properties of the full structures (pre-coat + metallization + post coat + eventually lamination)
The result is a fully reliable process to consistently produce top quality polyolefin-based or paper-based recycle-ready ultra-high or high barrier packaging, with faster time-to-market from day one.
