Umbria Olii International introduces a worldwide first -
compostable soap wrapping. This bio-film is based on
FKuR's Bio-Flex and is used for the
packaging of "Ecolive" laundry soap.
Umbria Olii International "Ecolive" laundry soap is made from
100% natural olive oil. In order to emphasize their ecological
commitment, Umbria Olii International searched for a wrapping film
which was made from natural resources and certified as
biodegradable (according to EN 13432) while, at the same time, was
chemically resistant.
"The high content of renewable resources and the appealing
glossy surface along with the certified biodegradability of the
multilayer bio-film (supplied via Cartotecnica & Poligrafica
Veneta) has convinced us", says Sergio Montano, President of Umbria
Olii International.
For the bio-wrapping, Bio-Flex F 2110 and Bio-Flex A 4100 CL
from FKuR have been chosen. "The unique properties of this
multilayer film as well as its straightforward conversion process
along with the good printability were the decisive factors in
choosing the materials from FKuR", say Poligrafica &
Cartotecnica Veneta who extrude and print the film,
respectively.
Bioplastics are a class of polymers, which have properties
comparable to conventional polymers, but are made from renewable
resources or enable the biodegradability of the products made from
this material.
