Macroplastics, single-use plastics and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances
The European Commission, addressing the environmental crisis caused by single-use plastics, which constitute half of all plastic use and marine litter, has initiated a global task group to promote sustainable alternatives and enhance plastic’s economic lifespan, in line with circular economy principles. A major concern is the widespread use of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in production, known for their durability and negative environmental and health impacts, as they are not easily degradable and contaminate water and soil.

This product serves as an alternative to PFAS and plastic layers in packaging, offering similar grease resistance while being biodegradable and compliant with food safety regulations. STABILYS® BA 25 ensures the elimination of hazardous chemicals and offers a more environmentally friendly packaging option without compromising functionality.
