Recyclable Flat Bottom Pouches
At Aropack, we help our clients to bring their visions to life, from initial material selection to final custom printed flat bottom pouches.
Sustainable packaging demands an advanced understanding of material science and evolving environmental standards. Our eco-friendly flat bottom pouches are based on mono-material laminates as PE/PE or PP/PP, engineered for mechanical recycling while maintaining sealing strength and barrier properties.
We also integrate EVOH layers in our recyclable films to provide enhanced oxygen protection. These structures remain compatible with the UK’s recycling stream and align with OPRL guidance & local collection capabilities. However, we always advise our clients to check local kerbside recycling availability, as collection systems can vary across the UK.
We support the use of thinner plastic films, which not only reduce overall material consumption but also help lower carbon footprint during production and transport.
