Barrier wrap is compostable

Dark chocolate from Ecuador is wrapped in a biodegradable and compostable film that has a moisture barrier nearly as good as coextruded OPP.

Amigos International of Holland is using Innovia’s NatureFlex NK to wrap its new range of Fair Trade organic chocolate from Ecuador.

NatureFlex is sourced from wood and breaks down at the end of its life cycle in a home or industrial compost within weeks. These films meet both the European and American standards for compostable packaging.
