The assistant covers the full range of flexible packaging: PPWR and recyclability, PFAS bans, post-consumer recyclate (PCR), migration and food contact, barrier and permeation properties (OTR/WVTR), mono-materials, seal and film testing, and packaging and processing operations.
The EU Packaging Regulation (PPWR) sets new requirements for recyclability, recyclate content and freedom from harmful substances (e.g. PFAS). Articles and podcasts explain what this means in practice for material selection, design for recycling and compliance documentation.
Yes. The Innoform Testservice tests and analyses flexible packaging in an accredited laboratory – from migration and sensory analysis through permeation to mechanical properties and material characterisation.
