Sustainable packaging

Designed for Recycling

Q: Can switching to sustainable packaging impact my product’s shelf life or barrier performance?

No — our sustainable solutions are designed to perform just like conventional packaging films. We use advanced mono-material structures, optimised barriers and mechanical properties to maintain product safety, freshness, and shelf life, while meeting recyclability and compliance requirements for food contact materials.

Q: Are your sustainable materials compatible with my existing packaging machines?

Yes. Our sustainable films and structures are designed for high machine compatibility, ensuring smooth processing on your current lines. We also provide technical support and testing to optimise performance.

Q: Do your sustainable films meet food safety and regulatory standards?

Yes. All Wipak sustainable films comply with strict food safety regulations and standards. They are tested and certified for performance, hygiene, and recyclability so you can switch to sustainable packaging with complete confidence.

Our GreenChoice by Wipak^® portfolio brings together renewable, recyclable, and recycled-content solutions, offering opportunities for product carbon footprint reduction, supporting readiness for evolving regulatory requirements, and helping maintain product safety and shelf life.
