A Material to Unlock Plastic-free Paper Packaging for Food
Lactips develops a biodegradable, water-soluble casein-based material for eco-friendly food packaging, enabling recyclable and compostable solutions that reduce plastic waste.
Projectdetails
Introduction
Lactips is a raw material producer specialised in a thermoplastic material based on casein (milk protein resulting from an excess of production). This material is the only one to be biodegradable in days (even in marine environments) and soluble in water.
Unique Properties
The addition of a layer of this material to paper unlocks the use of food packaging that is completely recyclable, home compostable, and biodegradable in days in marine environments if thrown away. This is particularly relevant for take-away food, notably on beaches and in cities, therefore cutting a major plastic stream into the environment and seas.
Key Features
This innovative material comes from the following unique properties:
- Full biodegradability in nature (Lactips’ polymer is natural and bio-based)
- Water-solubility at cold temperatures (Lactips material dissolves in current recycling centres, thus freeing the other layers of packaging that can be recycled)
- Provides barriers against ink, gas, O2, and fat
Application in Food Packaging
For the first time, recycled paper can be used in food packaging through protection from inks.
