In many countries, as much as 40 percent of food is wasted. DSM is taking on this global challenge by partnering with its customers to develop advanced material solutions to extend shelf life and keep food fresh to reduce waste.
DSM is a leading global supplier of durable food-safe plastics that lock in freshness and prevent contamination. In addition, DSM is a leader in the development of advanced material solutions for breathable food packaging.

Plastic packaging waste feeds another critical environmental issue: the plastic garbage patches floating in our oceans. At DSM, we find this threat to our ecosystem unacceptable, and work closely with APK to find outlets for high-quality re-granulates from solvent based recycling of complex multi-layer packaging.
Flexible multi-layer films provide efficient, versatile and lightweight packaging designs with a low packaging to product ratio to extend the shelf-life of food. Akulon XS is a very good alternative for PA6/66 in blown films.
Recycled-based multi-layer films enable a more sustainable packaging solution without compromising functional performance.
