At Innovative Film Solutions we believe that Bioriented Polyethylene (BOPE) could be the solution to most of today's non-recyclable flexible plastic packaging because Polyethylene (PE) is the most innocuous, lightweight, easy to mechanically recycle and reusable thermoplastic polymer.
PE-based films used to date are manufactured by the bubble or balloon method, which limits the possibilities of physically modifying the polymer characteristics.
The in-plane biorientation of PE that we perform at Innovative Film Solutions allows us to modify the mechanical nature of the polymer, achieving products with very high resistance and rigidity similar to Bioriented Polypropylene (BOPP) films.
