According to the company, Irplast is committed to investing in innovation aimed at sustainable development involving all business processes. Irplast’s most recent achievements are: ISCC+ certified films to reduce CO2 emissions during cracking and film manufacturing processes, film thicknesses reduction, fossil raw materials replacement with feedstocks from chemical recycling or renewable resources, wrap-around labels with wash-off adhesives and special inks to avoid contamination of r-PET. Irplast claims it is now the first company producing bio-based and PCW-based polypropylene films on a large scale.
