Revolutionizing Sustainable Food Packaging

Advanced barrier technology that extends shelf life, reduces waste, and supports a circular economy

About EVOH

Ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer (EVOH) is a high-performance barrier material that sets new standards in sustainable packaging

Superior Barrier Performance

EVOH exhibits exceptional oxygen barrier properties, with an oxygen transmission rate as low as 0.1 cc·m²/day·atm. This makes it ideal for preserving the quality of oxygen-sensitive products, effectively inhibiting oxidative deterioration, color fading, and microbial spoilage.

Lightweight & Efficient

Compared to traditional rigid packaging materials like glass or metal, EVOH offers comparable or even superior barrier performance in a much thinner layer (3–15 μm). This lightweight design reduces overall material consumption and carbon emissions without compromising functionality.

Versatile & Compatible

EVOH can be co-extruded with polyolefins (PE, PP) or polyesters (PET) to create packaging structures that combine excellent mechanical strength, sealing performance, and processability. These designs are adaptable to pouches, bottles, trays, and more.

Excellent Protection

EVOH's superior barrier properties protect food from oxygen, moisture, and other external factors, extending shelf life by up to 500%.

Sustainable Solution

Reduces food waste and carbon footprint through lightweight design and recyclable properties, supporting circular economy goals.

Versatile Applications

Compatible with various processing technologies, making it suitable for a wide range of food packaging needs across industries.

Sustainability Impact

How EVOH packaging contributes to environmental sustainability and circular economy goals

Environmental Benefits

Recyclable Material

EVOH can be recycled with polyolefins when used in multilayer structures, supporting circular economy principles. Mitsubishi Chemical and Kuraray have developed technologies to improve EVOH recyclability.
Lightweight Design

EVOH's thin barrier layer (3-15 μm) reduces overall material consumption by up to 25% compared to traditional packaging, lowering carbon emissions during production and transportation.
Reduced Food Waste

By extending product shelf life by up to 500%, EVOH packaging significantly reduces food waste throughout the supply chain, from production to consumer.
Bio-based Options

Manufacturers like Kuraray have developed bio-based EVOH products (PLANTIC™) containing up to 25% renewable resources, further reducing environmental impact.
