UPM Raflatac, a unit of Finnish forestry company UPM-Kymmene
Oyj, said Tuesday that it has launched a new bioplastic film made
in partnership with Dow Inc.
The Helsinki-based company said its biofuels division provides
material made from wood residue for the new UPM Raflatac Forest
Film PE, which Dow then processes into bioplastic granules for use
in the film.
Consumer-goods companies can meet their sustainability goals in
packaging thanks to the film, UPM said.
"We want to bring value to our clients by offering a wide
variety of sustainable alternatives to choose from," said Timo
Kekki, vice president at UPM Raflatac.
