Why sustainable films matter in consumer packaging

Making better choices starts with better materials.

Consumer brands today are facing a pivotal challenge: how to meet growing sustainability expectations without compromising product protection, shelf appeal, or production efficiency. Packaging is at the centre of this conversation and sustainable films are leading the way forward.
Conventional. rigid plastic packaging, while highly functional, does not contribute to a circular economy. Consumers are increasingly aware of this issue and they're looking to brands to be part of the solution. As regulations tighten and environmental concerns grow, businesses need materials that not only perform but also support circularity.
 
Our SmartCycle® rigid films are designed specifically for thermoformed packaging applications like clamshells and trays. They help brands reduce reliance on virgin materials by incorporating post-consumer recycled (PCR) content without sacrificing clarity, strength, or forming performance.
