NFINITE
Transformative nanoscale barrier coating that enables sustainable packaging solutions to keep products fresh and eliminate plastic waste.
WHY
300 million tonnes of plastic waste are produced annually. This is a pressing global challenge, and 170 nations have pledged to significantly reduce plastic use by 2030. There is a transition to use recyclable and biodegradable sustainable packaging due to new regulations and changes in consumer behavior. Plastic bags and some other single-use plastic products have already been banned in over 80 countries. Hence, new regulations and consumer pressure are making sustainable packaging necessary.
However, sustainable packaging materials lack the moisture and oxygen barrier performances that are the main properties found in conventional multilayer plastic packaging, which are essential for keeping products fresh. Multilayer plastic packaging poses recycling challenges and is not biodegradable. Therefore, solving the barrier problem of sustainable packaging means we could finally replace multilayer packaging, which is crucial in combating the plastic pollution we face.
