Foamed molded products made with EcoCore require less material and have faster cycle times to reduce material costs, energy use and environmental impact. Investment costs for new equipment are also minimal, say the partners. Reusable and recyclable end products made using EcoCore feature high strength and a smooth surface finish ready for printing. The foam core also offers excellent insulation and is ultra-lightweight. Their high strength also makes them ideal for deposit return schemes that have been proven to deliver material recovery rates of up to 94% and reduce the likelihood of plastics entering the marine environment. As mono-material packaging, EcoCore solutions are 100% recyclable. Applications can include:
● Cups—ranging from insulated to-go hot coffee cups for quick-service restaurants (QSRs) to beer and soft-drink containers for sports events and festivals.
● Pots—insulated pots for instant noodles and bowls, as well as other containers for soups and stews from QSRs.
● Tubs—for foods in the frozen and cold cabinets at both supermarkets and QSRs—from ice cream to yogurt and butter.
● Trays—insulated trays for microwaveable ready meals, as well as packaging for meats and delicate fruits.
Said Andreas Leitner, head of new business development at Borealis, “As strong advocates for the circular economy within our industry, we at Borealis are eager to partner with pioneering firms like Bockatech to develop polyolefins-based solutions that are reusable and recyclable. Combining our foam products with EcoCore technology to produce innovative, lightweight solutions is more than an exciting business opportunity: it’s a real step forward for more circularity in packaging.”
