 INTRODUCTION

The polymers described in the file , in order to be used in their many packaging applications (agri-food products, phytosanitary pharmaceuticals, health/beauty, construction, agriculture, etc.), undergo a number of transformations.

This document explains the different stages involved in transforming the granules into film, combining them with other polymers (or even paper and/or aluminum) to produce the finished product, which can be used directly in a wide range of packaging machine technologies.

The packaging material will have fulfilled its purpose (presentation, preservation, machinability) while awaiting... its next life cycle.
