Kloeckner Pentaplast launches fully recyclable kp Flexivac® in collaboration with Dow

There’s a new kid on the block – kp FlexiVac® R. And the R stands for fully recyclable. Today, only kp can offer a multi-layer recyclable vacuum film that’s been certified 100% recyclable as PE by cyclos–HTP and certified by Interseroh.

In collaboration with Dow, Klöckner Pentaplast is launching a specially formulated fully recyclable vacuum film which is one of the most sustainable solutions of its type available. Dow’s FUSABOND™ technology – incorporated into kp FlexiVac® R – allows the film to be recyclable without compromising on performance and aesthetics.

“We are delighted to see that the integration of our FUSABOND™ component brings recyclability to kp’s FlexiVac® value proposition. Our Dow compatibilizer offering enables the recyclability of barrier films, which is the first step towards a circular economy for food packaging flexible films” explains Laurent Ziché, Senior Marketing Manager at Dow.

kp FlexiVac® R is so much more than fully recyclable. Its high tensile strength suitable for bone-in cuts of fresh meat and poultry combined with its superior hermetical seal, means customers can rely on kp’s films for maximum food protection and safety throughout the supply chain.
