Melbourne-headquartered Cardia Bioplastics has teamed up with Germany's Polyden Folien to cooperate on the development of sustainable film products for the European packaging industry.
Starting off the agreement, Polyden Folien has launched a new range of packaging films made with Cardia Biohybrid technology that meet highest packaging performance standards.
The Biohybrid technology combines renewable thermoplastics with polyethylene material to reduce dependence on finite oil resources and to reduce carbon footprint.
“The combination of packaging performance, environmental profile and cost effectiveness made Cardia Biohybrid technology the solution for Polyden Folien’s sustainable packaging needs,” Polyden Folien managing director, Peter Moser, says.
He says the company's product launch of flexible films made with the proprietary Cardia technology was consistent with the company’s business development of sustainable packaging.
“We are excited to work with Cardia Bioplastics. Our packaging products made from their Biohybrid resins will form an integral part of our responsible packaging offering,” Moser says.
“We are looking forward to presenting our customers the Biohybrid packaging films, in particular for shrink film applications,” he says.
In turn, Cardia Bioplastics managing director Dr Frank Glatz comments, “We are delighted to be collaborating with Polyden Folien. They are one of Germany’s leading flexible film specialists with a strong track record of providing innovative products to the packaging industry. They are clearly committed to sustainable development of their products.”
