News: Triple Starpack Success for Estergreen!

FFP Packaging Solutions has been awarded three Silver awards in the prestigious 2007 Starpack Awards. FFP’s Estergreen LD1AF sustainable and compostable lidding film was honoured in categories: Best Innovation to Reduce Waste, Best Use of Innovative Materials and Best Component.

Estergreen LD1AF is made from Polylactic Acid (PLA), a plastic material based on corn with the added benefit that it is compostable in an industrial composter.

FFP has taken the lidding application several steps further - coating Estergreen LD1AF so that it provides a smooth peel seal from the tray and consumers don’t have the messy and potentially dangerous task of cutting the film away with a knife or scissors. Estergreen LD1AF is also anti-mist, which improves the presentation of the product on-shelf.

Estergreen LD1AF also heralds the introduction of a new brand from FFP. Any packaging material supplied by FFP under the “Estergreen” name will be sustainable, compostable or have other features that minimise its effect on the environment.

All the awards were made in the “Technical Innovation” section of the competition, FFP winning more awards in this section than any other entrant this year. The awards underline FFP’s commitment to continuous innovation, constantly seeking the new ideas that will allow their customers to add value to their products.
