    - BASF and
    Fabri
    Group have jointly developed a sustainable solution for fresh food packaging. Based on the certified BASF compostable
    ecovio
    ®
    , the
    Fabri
    Group has developed a highly transparent stretch film
    Nature Fresh
    . This product can be used for artificial or automatic packaging of meat, seafood and fruits and vegetables, as well as for industrial stretch packaging

    . As the first certified compostable cling film, the
    Nature Fresh
    combines excellent breathability, transparency and excellent mechanical properties for automatic packaging to help extend the shelf life of fresh food. According to U.S.
    standards, the
    is a food contact grade material.
    and polyethylene (
    ).
    Nature Fresh
    cling film helps to preserve food for longer periods of time than alternatives to
    PVC (
    PVC
    ) clingfilms such as PE
    ). This means that the product reduces greenhouse gas emissions from the production, transportation and final disposal of food products. According to national
    ,
    fresh film can be used with any food waste for household or industrial composting after use. Therefore, it can promote organic cycle regeneration, the formation of nutrient closed ring, to help the development of circular economy.
    film or stretch film is a flexible film, mainly used for artificial or automatic stretch packaging.
    Nature Fresh
    cling film, made from
    ecovio
    ®
    , is a certified compostable material that replaces PVC and PVC cling film currently used in fresh food packaging. The overall performance of the cling film is comparable to that of PVC films, such as mechanical properties such as stretch strength and fracture elongation, breathability, transparency, and appearance characteristics such as elastic recovery and anti-fog. In addition, the
    ecovio
    ®
    has a better
    permeability
    , which is effective in maintaining food freshness.

    "
    we are seeing a change in the market environment. Consumers are looking for alternatives to PVC, the performance standard for most fresh food cling film packaging today. The poor performance of polyethylene films shortens the shelf life of fresh food. Bad food, in turn, emits a lot of greenhouse gases. For example, bad fruits and vegetables account for 33% of all global food waste
    greenhouse
    . The cling film produced using our
    -

    compostable ecovio film helps to extend the shelf life of fresh. In addition, according to national law, this cling film can be composted with organic waste after use.

    to this end, BASF and

    Group has jointly developed
    New
    . This cling film combines sustainable materials with excellent packaging performance and ease of use and is suitable for stretching packaging machines.


    "
    we have integrated
    Nature Fresh
    solutions with new
    Automac NF
    packaging machines to introduce new sustainable packaging methods and drive the food packaging industry in two ways : innovative cling film and simple packaging processes," said
    Stefano Mele
    , chief executive of the
    Fabri
    Group. In this way, our certified compostable cling film forms a complete compostable packaging solution with pallets and labels made of the same material.
    "
    . Fabbri
    Group currently offers
    Nature Fresh
    clingfilms in four different sizes: roll clingfilms for manual or automated packaging machines (industrial food packaging), cut box clingfilms for hotels, restaurants and catering services, giant roll cling films for food processors, and roll cling films for manual packaging by end consumers.
