Peak Nano Films for Food Packaging

High-barrier food packaging typically relies on EVOH surrounded by other polymer layers and adhesive tie layers, building a laminate that protects shelf life but often gets rejected at material recovery facilities. With EPR laws already passed in several states, material choice now ties directly to compliance cost. Peak Nano's nanolayer coextrusion arranges standard, commercially available polymers into hundreds or thousands of ultra-thin layers, so the same resin blocks more oxygen simply because of how it's arranged, not because it's a different material.

What's inside:

• Why barrier, flexibility, moisture resistance, and recyclability pull against each other in conventional film design, and the limits of mono-material and compostable workarounds
• How in-plane crystal alignment in nanolayered films improves oxygen barrier without tie layers, while helping reduce costly resins and design out PFAS and other materials of concern
• How Peak's Films as a Service (FaaS) program lets brands test nanolayer architectures against real performance targets before pilot and production scale qualification, with U.S. engineering and allied-nation source materials
