EMSUR presents its latest innovation, the Compostable Barrier Bag

EMSUR’s latest environmentally-conscious innovation maintains the freshness and all of the properties of foodstuffs. This new flexible packaging solution developed by the EMSUR Group at its EMSUR Valencia Saymopack facilities in Algemesí, has been created to respond to customers’ demands for a two or three-layer barrier bag, of a sustainable origin, which offers compostable characteristics.

The laminar structure, specially designed for the coffee market, can be applied to different high added value categories such as dry food, snacks & confectionery or pet food. Its development is applicable both for rotogravure and flexographic printing and it is transferable to other plants in the group worldwide.
All the materials used to manufacture this product have a certificate of compostability according to UNE-EN 13432.

EMSUR has developed a specific compostable bag with a high-performance triplex structure that uses adhesives and special inks that are also compostable. The bag can be transparent, opaque or colour-printed, in gloss or matt, with a wide range of visual and sensory effects to enhance product differentiation. Innotech, the technological innovation centre inaugurated in 2019, offers the possibility of investigating other applications and / or similar structures, in both rigid and flexible formats.
In addition to its sustainability, the main advantage of this new packaging is its excellent barrier properties compared to other compostable plastics.
