Cardia Biohybrid multilayer films breakthrough for food contact market

Cardia Bioplastics has lodged new provisional patents to protect this innovative technology, which expands its extensive patent portfolio. Cardia Bioplastics Managing Director Dr Frank Glatz said the multilayer film technology provides the food industry with excellent clarity, and mechanical and processing properties. "This development enables customers to move confidently into more sustainable packaging solutions and opens significant new market opportunities for Cardia Bioplastics, which extend from commodity packaging into the food packaging industry. The sustainability benefit of Cardia Biohybrid?multilayer film also offers food marketers packaging solutions with a competitive edge for their products," said Frank Glatz. Interest from international brands in Cardia Compostable and Cardia Biohybrid?resins has resulted in the company's decision to expand its manufacturing facility in Nanjing, China. The relocation to a larger site will effectively double the company's manufacturing capacity. Although Cardia Bioplastics focuses on resin development and manufacture, the new facility will also provide for the manufacture of finished goods in the Cardia Bioproducts range. www.cardiabioplastics.comMens Running Shoes
