Smurfit Kappa Launched New Sustainable Recyclable Film

SEATTLE (Scrap Monster): Smurfit Kappa- Europe’s leading corrugated packaging company announced launch of a new, sustainable recyclable film. The film will replace the nylon used in bag-in-box products, most commonly in the U.S.

Currently, bag-in-box packaging which requires extra protection, such as those for packaging motor oil or detergents or large industrial-use food bags, use nylon bags. Nylon is also the preferred choice of material when it comes to particularly long or complex supply chain. The Smurfit Kappa Bag-in-Box film will be a sustainable alternative for all such nylon bags, said the company press release.

Lx polyethylene is the latest addition to the company’s global portfolio of sustainable films. It offers undeniable and consistent performance for vast range of applications and requirements from various market conditions and supply chains. It does not compromise on quality, reliability or safety.
