Sustainable packaging

Innovia Films’ biodegradable, compostable and flexible packaging material NatureFlex is used for the Gingerbread Folk range of biscuits. It is certified compostable and carries the ‘seedling’ logo to confirm this. To be certified the material must undergo a stringent test regime, carried out by independent accredited laboratories, in order to confirm that its inclusion will have no negative effect on soil or compost quality.

The packaging breaks down in a home compost bin (or industrial compost environment) within a matter of weeks; it also has inherent deadfold and antistatic properties, high gloss and transparency, resistance to grease and oil, good barrier to gases and aromas and a wide heat-seal range.

The NatureFlex films are cellulose based, derived from renewable wood pulp and are certified to meet both the European EN 13432 and American ASTM D6400 standards for compostable packaging.

The wood-pulp is sourced from managed plantations from referenced suppliers operating Good Forestry principals (FSC or equivalent).

NatureFlex films typically have a renewable biobased content of some 95% by weight of material.
