The development of recyclable, high-performance packaging solutions is one of the central challenges facing the flexible packaging industry. In particular, retort applications demand materials that... [Mehr anzeigen] can withstand extreme thermal and mechanical stress while maintaining product safety, shelf life, and quality.
Mono-material laminates are widely regarded as a promising pathway toward improved recyclability. However, achieving the necessary barrier properties for sterilization processes remains a critical hurdle. The interplay between oxygen, moisture, and aroma barriers—combined with the impact of retort conditions—requires in-depth material understanding and innovative design strategies.
This Inno-Talk brings together industry experts to explore the latest developments in retortable mono-material laminates. The focus is on practical solutions, material innovations, and realistic pathways to combine recyclability with high barrier performance.
Participants will gain insights into:

- Current material solutions and their limitations
- The role of barrier layers and coatings in mono-material structures
- Market trends and regulatory drivers shaping future developments

Join us for a focused exchange of ideas, experience, and practical approaches to one of the most demanding applications in flexible packaging.
