Why is everyone talking about mono-materials these days? 🤔 Traditionally, packaging materials are often made from composite materials to achieve optimal properties for each application. Mono-materials, however, are composed of one or more layers of a single type of material (like several different layers of only PE or only PP). With an increasing focus on the recyclability of packaging, mono-materials are gaining popularity. Mono-materials simplify the recycling process, boost recovery rates, and improve the quality of recycled materials.  ♻️ But the switch isn't without its challenges. For example, current packaging solutions often include an aluminum layer to provide superior barrier properties and protect consumer products from external influences. Without this layer, achieving similar barrier properties can be a challenge. Additionally, mono-materials can require greater effort to implement. At Packmatic, we’re ahead of the curve! We've supported many customers in making the switch to mono-materials with our expert knowledge, specialized suppliers, and proven implementation processes. Do you have any other questions on mono-materials?👇 #PackagingSolutions #MonoMaterials #Recyclability
