Food Preservation

Due to climate change risks and fast growing population, food delivery is becoming a challenge particularly in densely populated urban areas. Packaging can be seen as a waste of resources but advanced plastics solutions makes a key contribution to keep food fresh and safe but also to prevent waste all along the value chain.  

Preserving what matters

In developed countries only a few percent of food produced is lost from the farm to our home. In the third world, up to 30% of it is wasted due to improper logistic and packaging.  From reusable containers to single material tamperproof packaging, Borealis develops the material solutions to keep longer the food fresher from the farm to your fork.

Preventing packaging waste

Without plastics packaging our domestic bin would grow by 350%. Advanced polyolefins solutions further minimise waste and ensure effective recovery of plastics wastes. Our new generation of Borstar PE 2G films allows further downgauging of up to 25% - hence bringing a step change in packaging waste reduction.
