Flexible packaging firm TC Transcontinental Packaging has introduced a 100% recyclable multilayer barrier stand-up pouch for loose tea packaging in partnership with American tea company Harney & Sons.

The packaging firm has developed the multilayer recyclable stand-up pouch in collaboration with Dow and Charter NEX Films.

Using Dow’s RETAIN resin technology, ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer (EVOH) barrier film can be fully recycled in an effort to increase sustainability.

EVOH prevents gases, organic vapours and moisture from reducing the quality of the product, as well as extends shelf life.

Harney & Sons worked in collaboration with TC Transcontinental’s R&D team to create the new packaging solution for its fine teas.
