Polinas Plastik, a flexible packaging producer in Turkey, has secured a €25m ($27.39m) loan from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) to advance greener packaging solutions.  

This financial support is set to fund capital expenditure investments, including resource and energy-efficient production lines and the integration of solar panels. 

The loan will also facilitate the establishment of a new production line for biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) film and the acquisition of new machinery.

These initiatives are expected to significantly diminish Polinas’ carbon footprint by increasing renewable energy usage and producing fully recyclable packaging materials that can incorporate both recycled and biobased content. 

The flexible plastic packaging industry is facing a growing demand for materials with recycled content. 

Polinas exports products such as BOPP, biaxially oriented polyethylene terephthalate, and others to more than 50 countries.
