By using a minimal amount of material we create a lightweight package which combine low environmental impact with consumer convenience.
Our packaging material is called Calymer™, part plastic part chalk, one of nature's own materials. No chemical processes are necessary to extract it and only limited energy is required in the production.
Calymer™ consists of 40% (by weight) calcium carbonate and of plastic binding agents (PE and PP). The calcium carbonate provides Calymer™ with strength and stiffness, the binding agent toughness and flexibility.
After disposal the package can either be material recycled as plastics or recovered as energy by incineration.
The Ecolean Calymer™ material comes with a full Food Contact Approval Certificate.
