The Project: “Implementation of the production of biocide enriched printed film”

A brief description of the project.

– Project objectives: The main goal of the project is to implement a new product for the manufacture of polypropylene mono-axially oriented (OPP) film enriched with biocides. The project will contribute to the objectives of Measure 3.3 Innovation in SMEs – Project types: Launching new or improved products or services (through the implementation of R & D works results) through the implemented innovations, which in turn will improve the company’s competitiveness on the domestic packaging market and lead to increased employment. The emergence of a new packaging product is a result of research and development work.

– Planned effects: The introduced innovation will expand the current sales and product offer of the company with a new innovative product and thus increase the share in the structure of the company’s revenues, increase the market share in food packaging, including fruit and vegetables. In addition, a high-quality product will be created for the recipient and the final consumer (health aspect), which will affect the reduction of negative effects on the environment. The most important scope of innovation of this project is to improve the health and safety of food products. The project will be implemented in a single stage as of July 1, 2017 to June 30, 2018.

– Total value of the project: 9 852 300,00 PLN

– European Funds co-financing level: 3 600 000,00 PLN (45% of eligible expenses)

Project Description:

The project is to implement our own new innovative technology of polyethylene and polypropylene with a simultaneous use of bioactive substances in the form of powder, together with open – close technology, which has not been used around the world for more than five years. After the implementation of this technology, “ELA” will start production new products, which will include: laminates containing bioactive additives, laminates containing bioactive additives and open – close foil, wicket bags for packing vegetables / fruit based on film of bioactive substances , biocidal perforated film for automatic packaging of potatoes, open – close foil lamination, innovative high-quality products will appear to protect packaged foods against the biggest health threat – microorganisms. Products used for packaging bulk goods will appear, especially foods that meet the requirements of high safety of packaged products and consumer expectations.

The new technology of packaging production implemented in ELA will (due to bioactive substances) provide an effective protection against proliferation of microorganisms in packaged foods. Bioactive substances have biocidal properties and faster prevent the development of microflora, which causes the spoilage of packaged food products. This will result in an increase in mechanical, barrier, processing, biological and utility properties of the film, and the open – close system will also extend the freshness of packaged foods.

Implementation of the project in the period 15.07.2013 to 30.09.2014.
