Food contact materials: function, compliance and end-of-life management
Food packaging is evolving with compostable and recyclable materials. Rather than choosing a material on the basis of a generic environmental qualification, its life cycle needs to be considered as a whole: from raw material sourcing and energy use during production to the possibility of recycling or composting it after use.
Spongel: the SAP certified for industrial composting
Spongel is the super absorbent powder developed and patented by Magic. OK Compost Industrial certified by TÜV Austria, it offers an alternative to conventional synthetic SAPs while maintaining the level of absorbent performance required by demanding applications.
Disposable materials: end-of-life starts with design
Single-use materials also require careful consideration after use. For this reason, packaging design should take into account material composition, material characteristics and the intended end-of-life management. This includes the development of alternative solutions, verification of their relevant characteristics, and clear communication on the correct disposal route.
