Peelable Lamination for Molded Fiber Packaging: A Practical Approach to PPWR Compliance
Introduction
The EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) is reshaping the future of food packaging.
Instead of focusing only on reducing plastic, PPWR encourages packaging that is designed for efficient recycling while maintaining food protection and product performance.
For molded fiber food packaging, peelable lamination offers a practical solution.
Why Does Molded Fiber Need Lamination?
Molded fiber alone cannot provide sufficient:
- Oil resistance
- Water resistance
- Oxygen barrier
- Heat sealability
Functional films such as:
- PP
- PET
- CPET
- EVOH
- PE
- PLA
are laminated onto the fiber surface to improve food packaging performance.
What Is Peelable Lamination?
Peelable lamination is designed to deliver reliable performance during product use while allowing the functional film to be separated from the fiber during recycling.
This enables:
- Plastic recycling stream
- Paper recycling stream
to operate more efficiently.
Benefits
✔ Reduced plastic consumption
✔ Design for Recycling
✔ Higher fiber recovery
✔ Better compatibility with paper recycling systems
✔ Lower potential EPR costs
✔ High-performance food packaging
Suitable Applications
- Ready meals
