Circular plastic packaging

Every year, over 200 million tons of plastic packaging are produced worldwide, but only 6% is effectively recycled. Recycling is often hindered by complex barrier materials that prevent the separation and reuse of plastic. The upcoming EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulations (PPWR) will require all packaging to be recyclable and contain recycled material by 2030. This presents a significant challenge for packaging with higher barrier requirements, which are traditionally achieved through existing solutions such as fluorination and multi-layer plastics. While these approaches offer protection, they are expensive, difficult to process, and often non-recyclable. As a result, there is an increasing demand for alternative solutions.
IonKraft has developed a groundbreaking barrier coating technology. Our glass-like nano coating with high-barrier effect for plastic packaging, offers excellent product protection while being 100% recyclable. Our fully automated production machines enable cost-effective application across various packaging types and seamless integration into existing production lines, significantly reducing environmental impact.
