Editorial

Biodegradable products require packaging that is designed to retain freshness, and offer convenience for consumers.

Innovia Films will showcase their products at a new trade show in London, on 26 and 27 September 2008. Their products will include NatureFlex biodegradable and compostable films. The films are stiffer and oriented than many biopolymers currently on the market, which makes them ideal for use in standard flow-wrap and form-fill-seal equipment for food packaging. It is glossy, transparent and static-free for easy handling.
