Our new recyclable PP HB ECO material is a polypropylene-based, sterilisable complex with high-barrier properties that replaces non-recyclable structures. This structure has been developed by SP Group to comply with the European Commission target of ensuring all plastic packaging in the EU market is recyclable or reusable by 2030. PP HB ECO has been evaluated by the CYCLOS-HTP institute and certified for recycling in the PP stream that currently exists in several European countries. Our pouches and bags made of PP HB ECO (with and without zippers) have been rated AA, which means that 90% of the packaging can be recycled, as it is almost entirely composed of polypropylene. CYCLOS-HPT also assessed our PP HB ECO baby food pouches with caps for the rigid PP recycling stream and rated them AAA, meaning 96% of the packaging is recyclable. Properties: It stands out for its high degree of transparency, greater than any PP structure.

NATURTRAY is a laminate combining paper and rigid film. Designed to be used as a base web, it is thermoformable up to 15 mm. It comes in a wide variety of paper finishes, can be printed with flexography, offset and digital techniques, and allows customisation of weight and microns. Properties: High barrier and available without barrier too. Rigidity, resistance and MAP. Peelability can be added. Applications: Trays for many products, including cold cuts, sliced cheese and sliced meats.

Kraft paper laminate in a complex with SOL material to provide a high barrier. The complex may also be made with other materials. Particularly suitable for lids. Other paper finishes are also available. Properties: Oxygen and aroma barrier. Watertight. A lengthwise window can be added to show the food product inside. Applications: Cold cuts, cheese, bakery.

A flexible high-barrier film that welds directly onto an rPET tray. A very thin gauge film, it has a density of <1, making is highly sustainable. This thin gauge is to ensure that the top film floats to the surface in the sink-float tank, while the PET sinks to the bottom. This way the PET flakes do not become contaminated. Properties: High oxygen barrier. Watertight Oxygen and aroma barrier. Watertight. White or transparent. Suitable for products that require MAP. Applications: Cold cuts, cheese, ready meals, sauces, liquids.

A multilayer high-barrier film that couples maximum quality with a very thin film. It can be welded to polyethylene and polypropylene as required. It ensures reduced electricity consumption thanks to the lower sealing temperature. SOL is a coextrusion material that is superior to other materials with chloride barriers. Properties: It provides a high aroma and oxygen barrier and is watertight. Suitable for protective atmosphere. It also withstands heat treatments, such pasteurisation. Applications: Sliced cold cuts and cheese, ready meals, sauces, liquids.

As with other materials in the SOL range, VSOL provides a high barrier with the required characteristics, but includes improvements for it to be used in vertical packaging machines. It has good hot tack and a low weld temperature. Properties: It provides a high aroma and oxygen barrier and is watertight. It also withstands heat treatments, such pasteurisation. Applications: Nuts, rice, sugar, salt, pet food, among others.

FSOL is a material that provides a high barrier and is suitable of use in horizontal machines. It has good hot-tack, a low weld temperature, and is suitable for the heat process of pasteurisation. conservation of flavours barrier to oxygen Liquid tightness

Our PE ECO is a polyethylene-based complex. It is a 100%-recyclable mono-material, meaning it can replace non-recyclable structures. This material has been developed by SP Group to meet the guidelines set out by the European Commission to increase the recyclability of packaging. PE ECO has been added to our Eco Range, which contains all SP Group’s recyclable and mono-material packaging solutions. Properties: It stands out for its transparency and its capacity to withstand heat treatments such as pasteurisation, hot-fill and microwaving processes. Applications: Market applications for this material: Processed meat and dairy products, such as cured sausage products and cheese, frozen fish and seafood, dried fruit and other dried food products, ranging from spices and superfoods to cereals and legumes. It is also a good option for many products in the non-food sector, for example personal hygiene products, gels and shampoos, and cleaning products, among others.

Rclosing Efficient is a flexible high-barrier laminate with properties that permit re-closure. It is used as a lid for trays principally made from our APET EFFICIENT material. The laminate is characterised by being more sustainable than others as it is thinner and contains no chlorine products. In a triple complex it is available from 75 microns. Rclosing Efficient ensures the lid falls smoothly and firmly onto the tray so that the packet is re-closed and the preservation time increases during the established consumption period. As with previous openings, it ensures the re-closure is uniform. It can be made with transparent, white and metallic complexes.
