Luxury packaging doesn’t have to sacrifice sustainability
At the recent Paris Packaging Week, PLASTIGRAF TREVIGIANA S.R.L. showcased their Thinking PLA packaging that uses Ingeo-based film on paper or cardboard to create a range of high-end finishes for secondary packaging tailor-made for the luxury goods and food packaging industry.
Using biobased materials like paper and Ingeo biopolymer together improves environmental footprint, introduces options for recyclability, and offers a high quality product experience to consumers.

This can put Evlon in a much more competitive position than the past
