EcoLam is a lightweight Mono-PE laminate suitable for a great variety of packaging applications. Due to its mono-material structure it is recyclable (RecyClass approved). Already in 2015 Constantia Flexibles realized that multi-material laminates (like PET/ALU/PE) need to be substituted by mono-material solutions to ensure circularity. With the upcoming PPWR in the European Union it is of upmost importance to provide mono-material flexible packaging solutions to the market ensuring circularity while keeping the grammage as low as possible. The EcoLam family comes in different barrier grades (EcoLam, EcoLamPlus, EcoLamHighPlus) to deliver the barrier needs for a diverse range of products.
Specifically, with EcoLamHighPlus the requirements of sustainability (= recyclability and resource reduction) and excellent functionality as high barrier packaging material have been successfully united. In the overview table the different barrier grades are shown. EcoLam is already in the market with various filling goods like wet wipes, sachets and others.
The uniqueness of the innovation lies in the barrier achieved for EcoLamHighPlus, as it is close to the values of PET/ALU/PE compounds, making it a sustainable replacement for most applications. To demonstrate recyclability, the laminate has also been certified by RecyClass. Our Mono-PE laminates are recyclable in the PE film stream and can thus be integrated into a circular economy.
