Reducing raw materials use in polymer films

VOID has developed a technology to reduce the use of raw materials in polymer films (used for bags, foils, etc.) while offering improvements in their properties, such as enabling further stretching. The effect is a 25% lower polymer use. The technology also eliminates the use of titanium dioxide, making the film 100% recyclable. VOID allows for significant carbon footprint reductions through more efficient resource use and its increased recyclability of multilayer polymer film packaging material.
