The company name originates from the fact that Berlin is located within an ancient glacial valley that carved out the landscape many thousands of years ago.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>NatureFlex\u2122 was an obvious choice for the packaging as the film begins life as a natural product \u2013 wood and breaks down in a home compost bin (or industrial compost environment) within a matter of weeks \u2013 yet also offers advantages for packing and converting such as inherent deadfold and anti-static properties, resistance to grease and oil, good barrier to gases, aromas and mineral oils and a wide heat-seal range.<\/p>\n<p>Outlining why Die Kraft des Urstromtals selected NatureFlex\u2122, Ivan explained:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs our J\u00e4ger und Sammler bars are 100% organic, the wrapping should also have cutting edge characteristics. Innovia Films\u2019 NatureFlex\u2122 fits the bill perfectly for us. The compostability of this film in combination with it being manufactured from renewable resources is exactly what we were looking for in our approach towards healthier food where no harm is caused to the environment\u201d<\/p>\n<p>J\u00e4ger und Sammler energy bars are gluten-free and contain no added preservatives or flavor enhancers. They are available in three flavours \u2013 fruity (suitable for vegetarian diets), fiery (suitable for vegan diets) and hearty and combine a well-balanced mix of high nutrients with digestible carbohydrates, vitamins, essential fat and proteins. The hearty variety contains red deer jerky. It is the first energy bar in Europe to introduce dry meat suitable for paleo (extreme high protein) diets.<\/p>\n<p>NatureFlex\u2122 films are certified to meet the American ASTM D6400, European EN13432 and Australian AS4736 standards for compostable packaging. The wood-pulp is sourced from managed plantations. The renewable biobased content of NatureFlex\u2122 films is typically 95% by weight of material according to ASTM D6866.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are delighted that our compostable film, NatureFlex\u2122, is helping meet not only our customer\u2019s needs from a packaging perspective, but also supporting the ethos behind the creation, development and marketing of the J\u00e4ger und Sammler energy bars,\u201d commented Joachim Janz, Sales Account Manager, Innovia Films.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Innovia Films Ltd. has announced that German company J&auml;ger und Sammler has selected its compostable &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","nova_meta_subtitle":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5572],"tags":[],"supplier":[598,8003],"class_list":["post-22462","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-bio-based","supplier-innovia-films","supplier-jager-und-sammler"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22462","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=22462"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22462\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=22462"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=22462"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=22462"},{"taxonomy":"supplier","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/supplier?post=22462"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
