 INTRODUCTION

The polymers described in the dossier , so that they can 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 various phases in which the granulate is transformed into a film, combined with other polymers (or even paper and/or aluminum) to form the finished product, which can be used directly on one of the many packaging machine technologies.

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