Sustainable practices, including material reduction and the use of bio-based, recyclable or compostable materials, are forefront in the minds of both consumers and the packaging industry. This especially is true for flexible packaging, which traditionally has consisted of multilayer, non-recyclable structures. In this study, the use of electron-beam (EB) technology in the life cycle of a compostable, flexible package was investigated...
