Imagine a plastic wrap that looks and feels exactly like the usual stuff but is actually made from corn. Instead of sitting in a landfill for centuries, it can be composted like a banana peel. It works with the machines factories already own, so they don't have to buy expensive new equipment to go green.
Traditional plastic laminating and packaging films cause significant pollution and rely on petroleum. Companies struggle to switch to biodegradable alternatives because they often require expensive new machinery or sacrifice visual quality.
Two products: LAM’ON (biodegradable laminating film) and PACK’ON (corn-based packaging foil), along with a semi-industrial co-extrusion production facility.
If you are a print shop dealing with non-recyclable plastic laminates on brochures and posters — this project developed LAM’ON, a biodegradable film that provides the same visual quality and durability as plastic without the pollution.
If you are a food packer dealing with high plastic waste from wrapping — this project developed PACK’ON, a corn-based foil that is fully compostable and compatible with existing industrial packing machines.
If you are a supplier dealing with the demand for sustainable materials — this project developed a PLA-based film that requires no changes to current process or equipment for immediate large-scale entry.
The project achieved a low price by reducing the production process by one step compared to other market solutions, which saves both energy and manpower.
Yes, the company has purchased and integrated a semi-industrial co-extrusion blown film line to scale PACK'ON production to an industrial level.
Based on available project data, the company has developed a specific recipe that allows high-quality clear film production on standard polymer extruders, though specific patent numbers are not listed.
The company has passed environmental assessments and regional health inspections, and reports zero VOC emissions during production and the life cycle.
The products are completely compatible with current printing and packing industrial machines, requiring no changes to equipment or processes.
The project is led by a single Bulgarian SME, LAM’ON Ltd, which handled 100% of the industrial implementation. This lean structure allowed the company to directly integrate the EIC funding into the purchase of a semi-industrial co-extrusion blown film line, moving rapidly from R&D to industrial production.
