Cellulose Nanocrystals Key to Effective Sustainable Packaging
Cellulose Nanocrystals Key to Effective Sustainable Packaging
Israeli green tech company Melodea Biobased Solutions is pioneering a new form of sustainable packaging as they introduce their new sustainable barrier coating technology VBseal which has a range of applications including fresh foods, fast foods, frozen goods ,cosmetics, and much more. One of the most difficult obstacles to overcome for sustainable packaging alternatives is their overall effectiveness in protecting the goods inside the packaging , as sometimes sustainable packaging isn't as effective in protecting contents from water, oil, aroma, light , or oxygen. This is where Melodea Bio-based Solutions hopes to gain traction by offering their sustainable barrier coating technology made with natural cellulose nanocrystals. The cellulose nanocrystals are considered the building blocks of all plants and when applied to packaging they make the inside contents impervious to all forms of external contaminants including water, vapor, air, and light. Sourced from industrial forests the cellulose nanocrystals also give packaging heat sealable properties and can replace the commonly used plastic PE layer. Melodea considers these nanocrystals to be the only renewable resource for polymers. Melodea hopes that recent sustainability trends and policies will help industry leaders adopt their innovative packaging solution. Learn more here.
