Umbria Olii International “Ecolive” laundry soap, which is manufactured using 100 percent olive oil, is now available in compostable packaging. The certified EN 13432 biodegradable bio-film wrapper is made from Bio-Flex F 2110 and Bio-Flex A 4100 CL from FKuR Kunststoff GmbH (www.fkur.com).
Explaining why his company chose the bio-film, Sergio Montano, president of Umbria Olii Intl, says, “The high content of renewable resources and the appealing glossy surface along with the certified biodegradability of the multilayer bio-film convinced us.”
The glossy bio-film is extruded by Poligrafica Veneta srl and then printed by Cartotecnica Veneta spa (www.cartotecnicaveneta.com). The converters report that the film material had a straightforward conversion process and good printability.
