Food packaging is one of the largest and most important global markets for flexible films, which require sufficient barrier properties to protect, preserve, and extend the shelf-life of the packed products.

Developing sufficient barrier at appropriate cost is complex, challenging and an array of solutions are available.

With the growing body of sustainability legislation and the drive towards mono-material solutions, further challenges and opportunities for the industry abounds.

The industry needs to understand where to focus R&D and investment for future growth.
