Futamura’s expertise in regenerated cellulose films, produced from renewable wood pulp from responsibly managed plantations has been instrumental in supporting Biopap®’s product development. NatureFlexTM films are used to line Biopap®’s carton board trays to provide excellent barrier to oxygen, gas and resistance to oils and grease. Futamura films are EU and FDA direct food contact approved. They also meet all the relevant standards for industrial composting, including EN13432, ASTM D6400 and AS4736. They are also certified for home composting according to OK Compost Home protocol, to the French standard by Din Certco and the Australian home composting standard AS5810. In addition, Futamura tested NatureFlexTM films for High Solids Anaerobic Digestion according to ISO15985:2004. The results showed that all samples could be considered as completely biodegradable under solid, anaerobic conditions.
