Sustainability News:  New Option to Take Plastic Out of Windowed Packaging

To help reduce plastic packaging waste, JBM Packaging, a manufacturer of eco-friendly, flexible packaging solutions, launched EcoViewTM, a new, plastic-free, windowed paper package line. Engineered to give businesses an alternative to “poly” film packages made from non-renewable resources, EcoView features Fiberfilm™, a clear biodegradable film made from wood and cotton-seed fibers.

The new technology has the potential to have a strong impact on sustainable beauty product packaging in the future.

At the center of each EcoView package is Fiberfilm, JBM’s proprietary transparent film developed from PEFC-certified wood pulp that offers visibility and protection. Certified by TÜV to meet stringent environmental regulatory standards, Fiberfilm has achieved home composting certification and is guaranteed to biodegrade in natural, freshwater environments. Made from diacetate, Fiberfilm does not compromise the integrity of the recycling stream, ensuring that the entire EcoView package can be recycled in curbside recycling programs.

EcoView offers three different sizes of windows, including the sneak peek, partial view and full display. Each size offers customers a clear, protected product view of varying degrees, while also providing additional space for branding and messaging. In addition, all EcoView packages can be specially designed using papers with varying percentages of recycled content to meet sustainability goals. Further customization options include different papers, types of closures, and hanging holes, allowing brands to develop a truly unique, one-of-a-kind package.

The new product line resulted from customer-driven innovation, starting with a windowed seed packet. JBM walks alongside customers on their path to plastic-free packaging, starting with a discovery phase where they set goals and explore every possibility for a new plastic-free package. Exploring different options for materials and features, JBM works closely with each customer to bring their vision to life.
