Lamination technical films: new LCA findings confirm a strong and efficient environmental profile

LCA of non‑stretch PE Film for Lamination

Environmental analysis according to EN 15804+A2 – EF 3.1 method

Functional unit: 1 m² of PE film for food‑grade lamination

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Non‑stretch polyethylene film designed for lamination shows a solid environmental profile, fully aligned with European benchmarks for high‑quality flexible packaging.

With a carbon footprint of 0.258 kg CO₂ eq per m², the product falls within the expected range for high‑performance virgin PE films. Impact categories such as ozone depletion, particulate matter, and toxicity show top‑tier performance, thanks to optimized production processes and the absence of direct fossil‑fuel combustion at the plant.

As typically observed in technical films, raw materials dominate overall impacts. The Pontetetto manufacturing site, however, contributes positively with low energy consumption and full internal scrap recovery, improving the overall resource balance.

The product also offers strong future improvement potential in terms of materials, energy sourcing, and recyclability.
