DSM Announces Reworkable and Repulpable Packaging Resins

DSM, a global science-based company active in health, nutrition and materials, announced its portfolio of reworkable and repulpable barrier coating resins for the food and beverage, pet food, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals packaging industries, giving manufacturers an alternative to traditional, less eco-friendly LDPE coatings. 

According to DSM, the way consumers think and feel about packaging is changing; they are questioning environmental credentials, especially in food packaging, and demanding to know if it is safe, sustainable and less wasteful — influencing the industry to question if packaging still has the functional properties to fulfill its long-term requirements.
