Melodea, Ltd. has introduced MelOx NGen, a barrier product engineered to allow plastic food packaging recyclability. In addition to its eco-profile, the new barrier maintains food freshness and reduces plastic waste.
MelOx NGen is a water-based, plant-sourced coating designed to line the inside surface of plastic food packaging such as films, pouches, bags, lidding and blister packs used to house consumer packaged goods (CPG) products and is currently being rolled out to the global plastic industry. Approved by the FDA and BfR as compatible with food contact, the coating helps protect and extend the shelf-life of foods such as snacks, confectionary, nutrition bars, meats and dairy products, and pharmaceuticals.
