The film is fully biodegradable in various environments such as soil and water without leaving harmful microplastics.  

Its tear strength also allows for reduced material thickness, leading to significant material savings.  

The film is claimed to be compatible with existing Pester systems, making it easier to integrate into current production processes and thereby enhancing cost-efficiency.

According to Solutum, local production of its newly developed packaging material is feasible using existing extruders, supporting regional economies and reducing transport emissions.

In addition, the use of Solutum film on Pester’s systems can reportedly lead to substantial pneumatic energy savings.

The material has received several certifications, including the Interseroh Made for Recycling certification for paper products, TÜV Industrial Composting, TÜV Soil Biodegradable, and the self-declared International Organization for Standardization 14020 Water Biodegradable label.  

By adopting Solutum’s film, customers can protect their products while aligning with sustainability strategies.  

Solutum founder and president Sharon Barak said: “At the end of its life cycle, Solutum’s material decomposes completely. When handled in a managed environment, Solutum biodegrades in industrial composting plants, and in unmanaged environments, including oceans, rivers or when openly dumped, Solutum film biodegrades in soil and natural waters.  

“With widespread adoption, Solutum can effectively mitigate the environmental harms caused by flexible packaging, while delivering on performance and economics.”
