EcoLam range: recyclable Mono PE laminate with high barrier properties

The EcoLam packaging line: recyclable mono-PE laminates ideal for replacement of conventional multi-materials.

EcoLam laminates are configured using several PE-based building blocks developed by Constantia Flexibles: OPE, barrier OPE, and met OPE, which in combination with the appropriate sealant PE, can give rise to structures able to substitute non-recyclable laminates such as PET/PE, PA/PE, or even PET/ALU/PE.

Several characteristics make the Mono PE laminates EcoLam more sustainable and efficient than other products in its league: they are thinner than others, have higher thermal resistance, and use a lower barrier polymer content, due to the combination of processes and resins. All EcoLam grades have been certified by RecyClass to be compatible with readily available sorting and recycling technologies.

Another advantage of the EcoLam packaging line is that its barrier properties can be adapted to the product to be packed: from EcoLam, which presents a moisture barrier, to EcoLamPlus, that incorporates an additional barrier to oxygen, aroma, and mineral oil, up to EcoLamHighPlus, which shows aluminium-like barrier properties.

Further, dry pet food, confectionery, cereals and pasta, laundry products can be packed in EcoLam. Because of the enhanced oxygen barrier, EcoLamPlus is, amongst others, suitable for dressings, cheese, and dairy products. EcoLamHighPlus provides an exceptional barrier against both moisture and oxygen, being the ideal packaging for coffee, snacks, dehydrated products, compote and baby food, perfumes, and other personal care products.
