Fully recyclable stand-up pouch

Entour

The Bear Naked brand granola, a product of the Kellogg Company, produces a fully recyclable stand-up pouch. The goal was not only to produce a recyclable bag, but also to produce it efficiently while maintaining the same customer experience. Although these packages are light and thin, there are actually many layers of material used in the manufacture of films for flexible bags. In order for flexible packaging to be fully recyclable, a polyethylene film is needed from a single cast. Berry Global ‘s nine-layer Entour film structure meets these requirements, but also offers important features beyond recyclability. The film structure even exceeds Kellogg ‘s barrier requirements for shelf life, has a clear window to showcase the product inside, is rigid enough to stand up on shelves and can be hermetically sealed. In addition, there was the barrier film developed by Dow Chemical, the printing by Colourmasters and the closure from the manufacturer Fresh-Lock.
