For over five years, Brückner and Dow have been collaborating in BOPE film developments to enable PE-rich mono-material packaging with BOPE-LLD and BOPE-HD films. Besides typical print and sealable films, recent developments include high barrier films and cavitated films which are contributing to new, recyclable packaging designs.
