Award-winning solutions: Redefining sustainability in packaging
EcoPeelCover: Thinnest lid with superior puncture resistance
EcoPeelCover stands out as the thinnest die-cut lid available, featuring ultra-thin aluminum and coextruded polypropylene (PP) layers. Despite its reduced thickness, it delivers exceptional performance in peelability, corrosion protection, and puncture resistance. Plus, it provides superior barrier protection, safeguarding dairy products from moisture and oxygen while maintaining freshness. EcoPeelCover was also recognized with the German Packaging Award 2024.
EcoLamHighPlus: Lightweight barrier for extended protection
EcoLamHighPlus is a mono-polyethylene (PE) laminate designed for recyclability without compromising performance. Combining robust oxygen and moisture barrier properties with lap-seal technology, it ensures long-term product protection while supporting the circular economy. Lightweight and certified for recyclability, EcoLamHighPlus is an ideal choice for dry food, powdered goods, coffee, and snack packaging. All EcoLam grades are certified by RecyClass, confirming their compatibility with advanced sorting and recycling technologies widely adopted at industrial levels throughout Europe.
