Cardia Bioplastics Announces Collaboration with Nestle to Reduce Environmental Impact of Packaging

Monday 13. December 2010 - Cardia Bioplastics announces its collaboration with Nestle S.A., the largest Fast Moving Consumer Goods company in the world, to reduce the environmental impact of packaging.

Cardia Bioplastics Managing Director Dr Frank Glatz said: “Collaborating
with Nestle presents an exciting opportunity to develop high performance
packaging with lower environmental impact. In addition to offering a product
with beneficial environmental profile and full food safety compliance,
delivering superior packaging performance through the product life cycle is a
key criterion for success.”
“Our proprietary multi-layer flexible film and rigid packaging
developments are important offerings in meeting demanding packaging
performance requirements,” he said.
Cardia is well positioned to benefit from the trend towards sustainable
packaging. It offers customers the choice of using sustainable Cardia
Biohybrid(TM) technology (less oil, lower carbon foot print) or compostable
technology (delivering certified compostability to international standards)
for their packaging or plastic product solutions. The company’s materials are
suitable for a broad range of packaging applications, including flexible
film, injection moulding, blow moulding, foam, and extrusion and coating
applications.
