RECYCLABLE STRUCTURE MDO-PE + EVOH

Technology description

The Recyclable MDO-PE + EVOH Structure represents a new generation of flexible packaging designed to combine mechanical strength, oxygen barrier protection, and recyclability.

It integrates machine-direction oriented polyethylene, MDO-PE, with a thin EVOH barrier layer, significantly reducing oxygen transmission while remaining compatible with polyethylene recycling streams.

The result is a packaging solution capable of replacing traditional PET-based laminates while maintaining
comparable stiffness and functional performance.

Structure and materials

Normally includes:

MDO-PE structural film that provides stiffness and dimensional stability
Polyethylene sealant layers that ensure seal integrity
EVOH barrier layer, approximately 5%, providing oxygen protection

Additional components:

Food-grade printing inks
Lamination adhesives that comply with food packaging
standards

Key performance benefits

Excellent oxygen barrier performance 
Greater stiffness compared to conventional PE films 
Helps preserve product aromaand flavor
Protection against external contamination 
Compatible with multiple printing technologies

Typical applications

Packaging for human food products
Pet food packaging
Agricultural inputs, including fertilizers and seeds
Chemical products

Blue Pack Advantage

This structure allows brands to migrate toward recyclable flexible packaging solutions while maintaining barrier performance and operational efficiency.
