\u00a9 Sulapac<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Scanfill, a knowledge-based company that develops and produces world-class packaging materials, and Sulapac, a pioneer in bio-based, biodegradable plastic alternatives, have joined forces to help thermoformers across Europe meet their customers\u2019 increasing sustainability requirements while preserving the integrity of both product quality and manufacturing performance.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Degrafoil Flow 1.7 by Scanfill is made of Sulapac Flow 1.7 wood-composite and is used in thermoforming machines as a direct replacement for conventional plastic foils. Sulapac Flow 1.7 combines the functionality of plastic with the advantages of fibrous materials. It is certified industrially compostable and due to its high biobased content, it can significantly reduce the packaging\u2019s carbon footprint compared to conventional plastics like PET.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Final products made of Flow 1.7 have a smooth, fiber-like surface that feels distinct from conventional plastic. The possibilities for color are nearly limitless. In terms of scratch resistance and durability, Degrafoil Flow 1.7 is comparable to traditional plastic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCustomers value Flow 1.7 for its uncompromising nature,\u201d summarizes Niklas Linde, Sales at Scanfill.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Accessible sustainability meets easy processability and consistent quality Consistent quality and easy processability in thermoforming, were must-have features for the new material \u2013 and something that sets Sulapac Flow apart from competitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cFor a long time, we\u2019ve wanted to include a compostable alternative in our portfolio, but only Sulapac managed to meet our quality requirements,\u201d says Karl Banke, Sustainability Specialist & Technical Support at Scanfill.<\/strong> \u201cWith Degrafoil Flow 1.7, our clients can respond to brand owners\u2019 increasing demand for renewable content and reduced carbon footprint\u2013while continuing business as usual\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSulapac always aims to make sustainability an easy choice. That way, we can ensure our innovations spread widely and create meaningful impact,\u201d explains Juho Luukkanen, Sales Director at Sulapac.<\/strong> \u201cTogether with Scanfill, which has a broad customer base and strong sales capabilities across Europe, we can accelerate towards that goal.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Degrafoil Flow 1.7 is produced at Scanfill\u2019s facility in southern Sweden following the requirements for food contact materials. The first packaging solutions powered by Sulapac and Scanfill are already on the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
