I’m green™ bio-based Polyethylene, Produced From Sugarcane-Derived Renewable Feedstock, Incorporated Into Mondi’s Flexible Pouch5.11.2026 10:17:00 CET | Press release
At Interpack 2026, I’m green™ bio-based and Mondi presented a forward-thinking approach to flexible packaging, combining renewable material innovation with process simplicity to reduce environmental impact without compromising functionality. Renewable materials meet flexible packaging At the heart of the solution is Mondi’s re/cycle StripPouch, made with at least 98% I’m green™ bio-based polyethylene derived from renewable sugarcane, offering an alternative to conventional fossil-based materials. By integrating I’m green™ bio-based polyethylene into the design, the collaboration demonstrates the potential to expand the use of bio-based materials in high-performance applications such as food, home and personal care packaging. The pouch also incorporates laser-marking technology during the converting process, eliminating the need for inks and additional processing steps. This not only simplifies the packaging design but also contributes to faster artwork changes, greater personalisation
