Stay Fresh, Stay Green - Premium Compostable BOPLA Film for a Sustainable Food Packaging System
Are you looking for a compostable packaging film for fresh produce that reflects your brand’s commitment to green values? We have what you need. Our BOPLA film for Fresh Produce is the best option for companies who want to deliver superior packaging and protect the environment at the same time.
Bio-Based Solutions - The New Generation of Films
Our BOPLA film is made entirely of renewable raw materials. These include sugarcane, straw and other annually renewable resources. It represents an exciting new generation of sustainable packaging solutions which can be used as an environmentally friendly substitute to traditional petrochemical-based plastic films. When you choose to use our BOPLA film, you are taking a major step towards decreasing your carbon footprint, supporting a circular economy and ultimately promoting a more sustainable future.
What Makes Our BOPLA Film Unique?
1. Superior Quality - No Chemical Additives Required
Unlike most competitive packaging films, which rely on chemical additives to increase their physical and chemical properties, our BOPLA film was manufactured to provide the highest quality performance. Its superior mechanical strength, transparency and stability result from the unique molecular structure of the film itself, not from chemical additives. This results in a pure product that meets all regulatory requirements for direct contact with foods, is safe for consumers and the environment and does not harm the planet.
2. Developed for Respiration
Fresh produce is living and has respiratory requirements. Conventional plastic packaging films will trap moisture in the produce and create a poor gas exchange environment, resulting in accelerated spoilage. Our BOPLA film was specifically developed to meet the specific respiration needs of fresh produce. Its special gas exchange design provides an ideal environment for maintaining the natural metabolism of fresh produce by regulating oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange, and creates a healthy microclimate to slow down ripening and prevent excessive ethylene production. As a result, organic and conventional produce remains crisper, fresher and more visually appealing for a longer period of time.
3. Truly Biodegradable - The Only Real Solution to the Problem of Waste
Sustainable packaging is about much more than where a product originates - it is about where it ends up. Our BOPLA film is certified biodegradable (and meets international standards such as EN 13432 or ASTM D6400) and can therefore decompose in industrial composting plants into water, CO² and nutrient-rich biomass. Unlike traditional plastic packaging film, it leaves no residues, no microplastic particles, etc.
4. Excellent Transparency and Printability
We believe that your brand should stand out. Our BOPLA film provides a very clear and transparent packaging solution for your fresh produce, offering an unobstructed view of the product and enabling your brand to clearly communicate its message through high-quality graphics and advertising on the packaging.
5. Adaptability to Different Applications
From delicate organic berries to large root vegetables and from loose-leafy greens in pillows to any other applications, our BOPLA film can be adapted to meet the packaging requirements of your fresh produce. The film is easy to run on common packaging equipment (with minimal possible modifications) and offers a sufficient heat seal strength to guarantee a tight and secure packaging for your fresh produce.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about BiONLY –shelf Life Extended Compostable film
Q: How does your packaging prevent my produce from going bad sooner?
A: Good question! Our BiONLY® Compostable BOPLA Film for Fresh Produce is designed to serve as a shelf-life extended compostable film. Since it's an inherently breathable packaging film, it lets moisture and gases dissipate, so your salads and berries don't get "soggy" or wilted, staying fresh and crisp for the consumer much longer than other packaging.
Q: Will my customers be able to see through the packaging, or will it cloud over?
A: Yes. One of the key technical advantages of BiONLY is its compatibility with existing printing and bag-making equipment. Manufacturers can easily transition to switch socket sustainable packaging and switch wall plate sustainable packaging without any additional capital investment.
Q: Is this film really eco-friendly, and how hard is it to convert our production to this material?
A: Yes! Our film is 100% biobased, derived from renewable resources like sugarcane and straw. As for conversion, it's very straightforward. It's easy to process and convert into various packaging styles, and since a single layer is so durable, you can print your branding directly onto it without additional steps. Plus, with our biaxially-oriented manufacturing capacity, we can get to a 7-day lead time to keep your supply chain moving.
Q: Does BiONLY require glue for sealing?
A: No. The film delivers excellent heat-sealability and does not require adhesives. This glue-free sealing capability further enhances BiONLY's value as a clean, eco-friendly electronic packaging film for fresh produce, berries, small fruits, bouquets and decorative plants.
