OUR MOPEK AND BAPEK RECYCLABLE PACKAGING ACHIEVES THE ITALIAN PATENT FOR INDUSTRIAL INVENTION
We are proud to announce that we have obtained the Italian patent for the industrial invention of our MOPEK and BAPEK recyclable packaging and for their production method. Created on the intuition and passion of our owners Carlo and Sandro Ferracin and from the teamwork of the Research and Development and Extrusion Departments, MOPEK and BAPEK are two mono-materials in recyclable polyethylene (PE 4), the first, MOPEK, without a barrier and the second, BAPEK, with a high performance water vapour and oxygen barrier.
Despite being PE films, both materials have characteristics that make them possible to be sealed with hot bars (as well as impulse) on horizontal and vertical packaging machines.
The difference compared to other heat-sealable laminated mono-materials on the market is that MOPEK and BAPEK are mono-films (their production process does not include lamination) that guarantee the same technical performance of laminated films. This aspect is very important since it facilitates the packaging’s recycling operations at the end of its life.
The spirit of innovation and attention to sustainability, which have always been in SDR PACK’s DNA, have enabled us to invent a unique and revolutionary material, which after a two-year process has finally obtained a patent.
