Influenced by the concept of environmental protection and sustainable packaging, enterprises are paying more and more attention to single-material packaging. Some material manufacturers, such as Borealis and Dow, have launched a variety of recyclable mono-material plastic films in recent years, and new innovative products are constantly being introduced to the market。

What is a mono-material?

A mono material is a product that is made of just one type of material. Thus, mono polymers are products that are made of a single type of polymer (for instance, just PE).

Mono materials are increasingly popular in many areas, including the packaging industry, as a report from Smithers Research confirms: mono-material film packs are expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.8%, reaching $71 Billion in 2025. This growth will be especially relevant in industries such as the food, confectionery and pharmaceutical sectors. 

The benefits of mono material packaging：

Improved recyclability  Economic advantages  Promotes a circular economy

Positive：Excellent heat seal property, Wide range of melting point, Good moisture resistance

Negative：Poor oxygen (O2) barrier property, Low heat resistance, low stiffness

Our solution 

Adjust heat seal strength and temperature range with pressure real-time monitor

Heat sealed to make non-stick 

Fast cooling of the seal keeps the bag flat and minimizes stretching

Embracing mono-material packaging plays a crucial role in advancing the circular global economy, which aims to eliminate wasteful practices and excessive resource consumption. Zhoutai will do our best to promote a healthier and more sustainable planet for future generations.
