Industrial compostable film coil

Our compostable film coil are made of high quality virgin PLA, which is a top-notch transparent material. This film is ideal for packaging products using an automatic machine such as flowpacks machines. However, it is not suitable for manual or semi-manual packaging.

Our packaging is a sustainable option for those committed to the environment. In response to the 2030 Agenda, which sets the goal of replacing plastic packaging with reusable, recyclable or compostable options, in Covercash.es we have anticipated the new European directives and are already applying ecodesign in our packaging.

What is PLA film?

PLA (polylactic acid) film is a type of film made using PLA, which is a bioplastic polymer derived from renewable resources, such as corn starch, sugar cane or beets. PLA is known to be compostable and biodegradable, making it a more sustainable alternative to conventional petroleum-based plastics.

PLA film is commonly used in the packaging industry and in packaging manufacturing. It is compatible with automatic packaging machines and is used to protect and preserve a wide range of products, from food to industrial products.

Being compostable, PLA film can decompose under suitable composting conditions, becoming organic matter without leaving toxic or polluting residues. This makes it an environmentally friendly option, as it reduces dependence on conventional plastics and contributes to the reduction of waste and carbon emissions.

What are its advantages?

Using PLA film to package your products has several significant advantages:

Sustainability: PLA is a bioplastic material derived from renewable resources, such as corn or sugar cane. By using PLA film, you are opting for a more sustainable alternative compared to conventional petroleum-based plastics. You help reduce dependence on fossil fuels and contribute to the conservation of the environment.

Compostability: PLA film is compostable, which means it can decompose under proper composting conditions. When disposed of properly, it becomes organic matter without leaving toxic residues or contaminants. This facilitates its management and contributes to the reduction of waste in landfills. Packaging made with biodegradable and compostable raw materials.  Once used, the package is deposited in the organic container that becomes quality natural fertilizer within a maximum period of 12 weeks.

Biodegradability: Even in environments where composting facilities are not available, PLA is biodegradable. Over time, it naturally breaks down into simpler elements, leaving no stubborn residue in the environment.

Versatility: PLA film is suitable for a wide range of packaging applications. It can be used for food, industrial products, electronics and more. It is compatible with automatic packaging machines, making it easy to incorporate into existing production processes. Suitable for automatic packaging with horizontal packaging machine type flowpack or vertical packaging machine. 

Properties: Thanks to the water vapor permeability of PLA, compostable film allows food to breathe and stay fresh and crunchy. Its sealing power guarantees hygiene and food safety at the point of sale. Film suitable for contact with food.

Brand image and marketing: The use of sustainable packaging, such as PLA film, can be a differentiating and attractive factor for consumers committed to the environment. Demonstrate your commitment to sustainability and improve your brand image, which can generate customer loyalty and preference. Visual impact on the shelf thanks to a natural and artisan product appearance
