the nu company choose NatureFlex™ for nucao Chocolate Bars

Sustainable vegan chocolate producer, the nu company, has chosen Futamura’s renewable and compostable NatureFlex™ packaging films for two of its latest vegan chocolate ranges of the brand “nucao”.

German Food Startup the nu company, being eager to find a working alternative to conventional plastic packaging, opted for NatureFlex™ compostable cellulose films. These films are manufactured from responsibly sourced wood pulp and are certified according to EN13432 for Industrial Composting and TÜV Austria OK Compost Home for home composting. NatureFlex™ offers outstanding technical performance including high barrier to gases, moisture and oils, whilst offering renewability and an end of life option that diverts waste from landfill; it can go straight in the garden compost bin!

Thanks to the outstanding optical clarity of the films, the product in the unprinted range is shown off to its full potential, while benefitting from excellent barrier. The second range uses a combination of printed paper, laminated to NatureFlex™, which offers the benefit of being heat-sealable and high barrier.

Thomas Stoffels of the nu company said; “Not so long ago sustainable packaging was seen as a utopian dream, now it is a very real option for ethical producers. We chose NatureFlex because of its sustainable credentials, but also its technical performance. You don’t need to compromise product protection for sustainability.”

Joachim Janz, Futamura Regional Sales Manager (Germany & Denmark), said; “We are delighted that the nu company has again chosen our NatureFlex films to package its new ranges of nucao. Our product matches the ethical ethos of their brand, whilst protecting their product integrity.”
