Innovia Introduces New Floatable Sleeve for Light-Sensitive Products
Innovia Introduces New Floatable Sleeve for Light-Sensitive Products
Innovia Film’s new PO floatable shrink film bottle sleeve can protect light sensitive products and boost circularity. The film is an extension of the company’s floatable polyolefin shrink films product range. The floatable sleeve features a low density white film design made from polyolefin (WAPO). The sleeve’s opaqueness gives it light protectant properties, which can be applied to transparent containers for light sensitive products such as dairy, food supplements, nutritional products, and cosmetics. Innovia saw a gap in the market that could be filled with a floatable film that can be combined with transparent PET bottles. That is when Innovia decided to develop RayoFloat White, an innovative game changer in the packaging industry. The primary benefit presented by Rayofloat White is that it enables the use of transparent PET bottles for light sensitive products, which in turn allows the PET bottles to be recycled back into food grade packaging, something that would not be possible with HDPE. The increased circularity of food grade PET is a great achievement, but Innovia wanted to take it a step further by making their floatable film automatically detachable during the sink/float recycling process.
