Biodegradable or bio-based foils
Partially plant-based
Some of the raw material in our bio-based foils comes from the plant kingdom. Using renewable sources can result in a finished foil with a lower carbon footprint, thereby providing a more sustainable alternative to foils made entirely from fossil-based oil.
Recyclable in existing systems
Plastics with bio-based content can be recycled in established recycling systems. By choosing the right bio plastic you’re taking end-of-use responsibility and allowing the industry to continue toward circular material flows without requiring new infrastructure or expensive changes.
Keep the function – max your green credentials
The choice of a bio-based foil provides the same excellent moldability and reliable results as a conventional foil. Because a bio-based foil reduces the amount of fossil raw material, it’s an excellent choice if you’re looking for packaging with clear green credentials.
Bioplastics
Made for your tools
Our bio-based foils are designed for thermoforming in your existing tools. They have excellent moldability and can be used in the production of packaging in the same way as conventional foils.
Sophisticated. Exclusive. Personal.
Foils with bio-based content can have properties that are difficult to achieve with conventional plastics. Sulapacs Flow 1.7 has a naturally matte surface and smooth feel. Adapt the color to suit your brand and you’ll have packaging with both green credentials and your own personal profile. Win, win!

Lineup
Sulapacs Flow 1.7 is a foil based on wood composite with excellent moldability and which provides results of the highest quality in the same thermoforming process as conventional foil.
Thanks to its high biomaterial content it can make a great difference in reducing the carbon footprint of the finished packaging when you choose Flow 1.7 instead of a conventional foil such as PET. The foil is certified for industrial composting.
Scanfoil BIO PP is a biomaterial based on a mass balance proportion of renewable material. This means the foil has a lower carbon footprint compared to conventional polypropylene. Its quality and processability are comparable with foil consisting of PP based on virgin material. Scanfoil BIO PP is ideal for thermoformed packaging in the electronics, manufacturing and food industries.

Scanfoil BIO PE is a thermoforming foil based on a proportion of fossil-free material, providing it with a lower carbon footprint than conventional polyethylene. The foil has excellent moldability in existing thermoforming tools and is suitable for packaging across a range of areas such as the electronics, manufacturing and food industries.
Our Degrafoil PLA is made from renewable raw materials, primarily cornstarch and sugarcane that provide the foil with a naturally low carbon footprint. Degrafoil PLA is degradable via industrial composting, making it easy to take responsibility for end-of-use packaging. The foil is ideal for thermoforming and provides results with good transparency and clarity. Degrafoil is the smart choice for disposable packaging that must both protect its contents and display them in an appealing way.
