Responsible Approach to Material Selection

SUSTAINABILITY

OLPO FLEX supports the development and supply of flexible packaging solutions aligned with current market expectations regarding recyclability and material efficiency.

Recyclable structures are available for selected applications, including mono-material PE and PP based laminates, where technical performance requirements allow.

Our objective is to support solutions that combine functional performance with responsible material design.

Material selection is always balanced between:

product protection

barrier requirements

mechanical performance

recyclability considerations

EU Legislation

EU Packaging Legislation – Direction to 2030

European packaging legislation is evolving towards increased recyclability, reduction of material complexity and improved resource efficiency.

Current regulatory direction within the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste framework promotes:

increased recyclability of packaging materials

reduction of unnecessary packaging

improved material efficiency

design for recycling principles

Flexible packaging structures are continuously being adapted in response to recyclability, design-for-recycling and material-efficiency requirements evolving toward 2030.

OLPO FLEX follows material developments aligned with these regulatory trends and supports selection of structures compatible with applicable market requirements.

Recyclable Solutions

Recyclable Solutions

Available options include mono-material structures designed to support recyclability within existing waste management streams.

Typical solutions include:

PE-based laminates

PP-based laminates

PP/PP/EVOH/PP/PP thermoforming films

reduced material complexity structures

Structure selection depends on product sensitivity, required barrier level and packaging process conditions.

Performance First

Performance First

Packaging plays a critical role in protecting products against oxygen, moisture and contamination. Material structure is therefore selected to ensure appropriate balance between sustainability objectives and required product protection.

Optimized packaging contributes to reduction of product waste, supporting overall resource efficiency.
