*BioFlex™ has been shown to increase the rate of Biogas production by up to 46.3% compared to traditional plastic packaging in the ideal conditions of an anaerobic digestor landfill over the course of 695 days, using the ASTM D5511-12 test. When disposed of in a landfill with modern biogas capture technologies, this energy can be harnessed as a source of renewable energy. Such a facility may not exist in your area.

In most cases, flexible packaging achieves the necessary protective properties with the lowest environmental footprint of all comparable packaging options because significantly less raw material is required to produce it.

For example, the materials required to package 60 lbs of beverage are:

50 lbs of Glass Jars
6 lbs of Rigid PET Bottles
3 lbs of Aluminum Cans
1.5 lbs of Flexible Plastic Pouch

Raw natural gas contains many components such as ethane, propane, butane, and pentane. Ethane is abundant in many natural gas wells and is widely used as the feedstock for polyethylene production in North America.

Plastics are composed of elements such as carbon, oxygen, and nitrogen. Each plastic molecule is composed of thousands of atoms bonded together in repeating units. Naturally occurring materials such as wood, silk, and DNA are also composed this way.

Most flexible packaging contains multiple layers of film composed of different types of plastic. This design allows very high-performance packaging to be produced out of minimal materials. High-performance packaging protects food from moisture and oxygen, preventing it from spoiling.
