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 aim was not only to produce a recyclable pouch, but also to achieve efficient production while maintaining a consistent customer experience. Although this packaging is light and thin, there are actually many layers of material used in the production of films for flexible pouches. In order for flexible packaging to be fully recyclable, a polyethylene film from a single cast is required. Berry Global ‘s nine-layer Entour film structure meets these requirements, but also offers important properties beyond recyclability. The film structure exceeds even 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. Added to this was the barrier film developed by Dow Chemical, the printing by Colourmasters and the closure from manufacturer Fresh-Lock.
