one • fıve is a biomaterials research, development and scale-up company, providing faster, affordable, tailored solutions with measurable environmental impact.
We seek to develop cutting-edge packaging solutions for fiber-based substrates to be used for food products like dairy with a shelf life exceeding 5 months.
We thus seek innovative packaging solutions that achieve water vapor transmission rate comparable to or surpassing polyolefins.
Thermoformability (the ability to undergo thermoforming) is a crucial characteristic for polymers intended to serve as barrier film in fiber-based packaging. This is especially significant given the extensive variety of shapes and forms these packaging are designed to accommodate. This will be thermoformed in an oval shaped container.
As we strive to enhance the longevity of dairy items, we invite material scientists to contribute their expertise in crafting materials that not only meet these stringent criteria but also advance the potential of fiber-based substrates for prolonged shelf life and optimal product protection.
We are in search of replacements for polyolefin films in fiber-based food packaging (moulded fibers and pulp with 0% recycled content). We thus seek high-barrier thermoforming polymers. Material scientists, bring forth your groundbreaking ideas for more sustainable and efficient packaging solutions!
- Reason to believe solution is capable of receiving food compliance
- Ideally WVTR (23°C / 85%RH) <4 g/m2 d (equivalent or better than polyolefines)
- Ideally withstands hot fill (77°C) and refrigerating (4-10°C)
- Thermoformability
- WVTR (23°C / 85%RH) =0.1 g/m2 d
- OTR not worse than PP
- contributes <15% non-paper content
- Capable of being sterilized with various technologies (UV, H2O2, pulsed light)
- TRL 6+ would be ideal (but solutions that do not meet this maturity are still welcomed)
- Polyvinylidene chloride (PVDC)
- Non-recyclable solutions
