High barrier film for environmental chocolate

Innovia Films’ high barrier compostable material, NatureFlex NK, has been selected by a Dutch company, Amigos International, to wrap Ananda, its new range of dark, fairtrade, organic chocolate from Ecuador.

Available in five flavours with a minimum of 70% cocoa content, Ananda, means ecstasy’ in Sanskrit and Pali and is a popular Buddhist name.

Jeroen Kruft, the owner of Amigos International, states, “Amigos International is a long-time distributor of organic products. We appreciate not only the ecological aspects of the ingredients, but were also looking at packaging to complement this. That is why we started to look at more environmentally friendly options.”

NatureFlex NK was launched in 2008 and offers biodegradability and compostability, along with a moisture barrier approaching that of co-extruded OPP and extended shelf life.
