    UPM Raflatac is extending its range of film face materials for the European market with a new plant-based material that provides a sustainable alternative to fossil-based films for a wide variety of end uses. RafBio PE 85 performs just like standard PE film, and its excellent flexibility makes it ideal for the squeezable bottles and contoured containers that are widely used in home and personal care applications.

    Part of the RafBio family of bio-based labeling solutions, RafBio PE 85 is suitable for customers who are looking for a sustainable film face material that will reduce greenhouse gas emissions during its life cycle, compared to conventional PE, while still keeping products looking their best. Made from sugarcane ethanol, the film contains more than 80% renewable plant-based raw material and is recyclable within the same recycling streams as fossil-based PE.

    RafBio PE 85 is combined with the RP37 adhesive for multi-purpose labeling applications. Furthermore, UPM Raflatac's RafCycle program offers significant benefits to label printers and end users by turning waste into valuable resources.

    "Our RafBio range is another significant step on our journey towards a more sustainable future. It will help our customers to reduce their dependence on fossil raw materials and differentiate themselves from the competition by demonstrating a desire to improve their environmental performance," says Päivi Knihti, segment manager, Films, EMEIA.
