The new technology is unique for label films, with 36,000 tons of annual capacity designed for best-in-class energy efficiency. Production will commence in the second half of 2024.<\/p>\n<p>Simon Huber, Managing Director Innovia Films Europe, commented: \u201cThe intended introduction of the BOPP film on a production scale represents an innovation for the application as uncoated and printable label film that does not exist yet. The new line in Germany will supply thinner films for the label market, close to where many customers are located. Polypropylene is a widely recycled material that has an established recycling stream and that supports a circular economy of plastics\u201c.<\/p>\n<p>Giuseppe Ronzoni, General Manager at Innovia Films in Schkopau, Germany, said: \u201cThis technology offers clear advantages over the state of the art, especially for the life cycle assessment with regard to product-specific CO2 emissions. Further developments, retrofitting and the more sustainable change in the German electricity mix can lead to a further improvement in the environmental impact.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The investment is part of the company strategy to focus on providing more sustainable material for the label industry as part of their \u201cBetter Future\u201d material science strategy. Thinner materials equal more material efficiency and a lower carbon footprint of the end product, which supports the carbon reduction strategy of many major brands that are looking to introduce more sustainable packaging into the market.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<div  class='avia-image-container  av-styling-    avia-builder-el-7  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock  avia-align-center '  itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\"  ><div class='avia-image-container-inner'><div class='avia-image-overlay-wrap'><img class='avia_image' src='https:\/\/fei-online.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/04\/Innovia-e1681224177922.jpg' alt='' title='Innovia' height=\"600\" width=\"800\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section class=\"av_textblock_section \"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock  '   itemprop=\"text\" ><p><em><strong>Groundbreaking for new multi-layer co-extrusion line.<\/strong> <\/em><br \/>\n<em>Left to right: Kerstin Dittmann, Sales Engineer, Goldbeck;
