Biodegradable & Recyclable Films for Flexible Packaging
Recyclability is now the baseline expectation for flexible packaging films in Europe. For a growing number of converters and brand owners, it is no longer sufficient — markets, procurement specifications and voluntary sustainability commitments are driving demand for films that go further, combining recyclability with certified biodegradability.
Bioxpack’s biodegradable film range addresses this demand directly. Built on a bioriented polypropylene base, these films are engineered to deliver the same high-speed machinability, seal integrity and optical performance as standard specialty BOPP grades — while adding controlled biodegradability as a certified material property. The range covers flowpack, white opaque and infusion sachet applications, from 17 to 50 microns, in sealable and non-sealable versions. All grades are recyclable and biodegradable, free from bisphenol A, phthalates and heavy metals, and produced under BRC Packaging Materials certification at our facility
Available thicknesses:
- From 20 to 50 microns, depending on structure and substrate
- Grades available: on BOPP or BOPE base films
Recyclable and Biodegradable — What It Means in Practice
These two properties are often conflated but describe fundamentally different end-of-life pathways. A recyclable film can be collected, sorted and reprocessed into new material through mechanical recycling infrastructure. A biodegradable film degrades naturally under defined environmental conditions — temperature, humidity, microbial activity — within a controlled timeframe, leaving no persistent plastic residue.
Bioxpack’s biodegradable films are designed to satisfy both criteria simultaneously. They perform in the PP recycling stream and carry biodegradability as an additional certified property — making them suitable for brands and converters who need to make specific environmental claims that go beyond the standard recyclable-by-design positioning, whether driven by market differentiation, procurement requirements or voluntary sustainability targets.
