The new, coextruded material includes a top and bottom web, with an internal barrier layer that comprises less than 5 percent of the entire structure, meaning it qualifies as a mono-material construction and is fully recyclable in existing waste streams. Users of this film could "thermoform a fully recyclable PP film", "achieve great sealability in the resulting package due to both the top and bottom web being the same, compatible material", "get benefit from excellent optical properties and an outstanding gas barrier that provides for longer shelf life of the packed foodstuffs".This latest development is fully in line with the design guidelines of major brand owners and retailers who have sustainability in mind
