Biodegradable Food Packaging Film

It is commonly understood that most plastic products take many years (indeed many decades) before they begin to biodegrade. This one doesn’t.

BioFreshTM  is available in both 33cm x 600m and 45cm x 600m formats, and will perform to the same high standards that our entire film range already offers, especially in the areas of:

BioFresh

STRETCH
CLARITY
CLING
TOUGHNESS
BREATHING
MICROWAVE-SAFE

BioFreshTM does not create microplastics, instead it attracts the microbes in the landfill to the material, and these microbes consume the plastic alongside all other organic materials found in a landfill, returning it to humus while creating water and methane. For those savvy food professionals who seek conventional functionality and performance combined with a preferred end of life outcome, our new BioFreshTM film is the film of choice.

Plastic delivers a multitude of benefits to a modern society. It is functional, it is durable, it is strong and stable, it is hygienic, it is lightweight and it requires a lot less energy and resources to produce than many alternate solutions. But at the end of its life, plastic is perceived as a problem and recycling of most soft plastics or light gauge films is either not viable or the systems simply do not exist today. At Breathe Fresh we acknowledge our responsibility as a plastics manufacturer and are actively engaged with like minded Industry participants to help drive innovation and find new, environmentally responsible solutions for improved end of life outcomes for all polymers.

In the absence of existing recycling technologies or systems to effectively collect, sort and process films, we are pleased to provide a responsible solution via our new BioFreshTM catering films which is landfill biodegradable.

Intertek tested

Breathe Fresh has incorporated new technology to create a film that will break down at a much faster rate than untreated film. Independently tested and verified by Intertek Laboratories, BioFreshTM film was verified to biodegrade in a land fill environment per ASTM D5511-18, being the globally recognised test measure to simulate a landfill environment. The rate of biodegradation will always vary given each land fill varies in its level of microbial activity, moisture level and temperature, however the technology was independently verified and found to be effective.
