Triple strength of TriplePak foil
TriplePak is an innovative, three-layer film that raises the quality of waste bags to a new, unattainable level. We set aside our all uncertainties, because our patented foil is extremely durable, functional and ecological at the same time. But this is only a part of its advantages.
Project assumptions
Project: Development and implementation of a high-performance automated and robotic technology for manufacturing extruded eco-friendly garbage bags from three-layer embossed film using free blowing.
Project Description: The Applicant's own project, defined in the form of a research process, consists in the development, optimization, validation and implementation of an innovative at least on an European scale highly efficient automated and robotic technology for the manufacture of three-layer embossed premium garbage bags. The implemented technology, which allows 3 layers of film to be produced independently, will enable the use of up to 70% regranulate in the middle, load-bearing part, significantly strengthening the product, reducing the adverse impact of plastics on the environment and increasing the strength parameters of the product. The leading innovation in the project will be product innovation (production of products with quality and performance parameters not currently offered in Europe). Equally important from the point of view of technology will be the process innovation involving automatization and robotization of production towards the implementation at Polipak Sp. z o.o. of elements of the Industry 4.0 concept. Currently, garbage bags are produced from single-layer film, which makes it practically impossible to produce at the same time a strong, aesthetic, scented, functional and cheap product. This is because each of the indicated features and functions is the result of using a different raw material in the production process. Their integration from a technological point of view is only possible in a product consisting of several layers. The qualitative effect is reinforced by the use of a product embossing system, which, by optically thickening the product, makes it more resistant to ripping, pulling, puncturing and other damage. In this way, the result of the project responds to the market demand from the side of price, functionality, usability and ecological qualities. As a result of the research process divided into 6 stages (3 BPs and 3 FPs), a patent-pending, unique, at least in Europe, technology for manufacturing bags with currently unavailable quality parameters will be introduced into the business practice of Polipak Sp. z o.o.

The project is co-financed by the European Union with funds from the European Regional Development Fund under the Intelligent Development Operational Program. Project implemented under the competition of the National Center for Research and Development: Industrial research and development work carried out by enterprises "Fast Track".
Project: The aim of the project is to develop technology for producing high-quality regranulate from the company's own production waste of printed film in a closed loop.
Project Description: The obtained regranulate is expected to be of the highest possible quality and to be a recycled raw material for the production of an innovative film composed of virgin plastic and regranulate in a ratio of 1:1 for film thicknesses in the range of 11-21 µm. The designed production process will be part of a closed loop, ensuring the processing and reuse of 100% of the company's own waste generated throughout the company. Recovered regranulate will be added at a rate of at least 50% to virgin plastic, as raw material for the manufacture of reduced-thickness bags. The entire work outlined in the project's material and financial schedule will strive to develop a prototype in the form of an innovative demonstration production line for the production of regranulate (a.k.a. recycling), allowing for the effective combination of all stages of processing production waste, including by increasing the degree of automation of the various stages of the recycling process. Implementation of the project's results in Polipak's own production activities, based on the use of the developed regranulate recovery technology demonstrator, will take place through their commercial use in the newly built production facility. The planned project aims to further develop the company by improving production efficiency, implementing new products and strengthening its competitive position in the domestic and international markets.

TriplePak in agreement with the
environment
Caring for the environment is not only a huge responsibility for us, but also a technological challenge. The innovative, three-layer TriplePak film is a combination of features that respond to the needs of both the environment and the consumer.
Functionality
TriplePak is the strength of three layers, which results in the unique functionality of the bags. In one product you can combine the features of different products. Bags based on TriplePak foil are therefore not only durable, but also fragrant, aesthetic and cheap to produce.
Ecology
Every day, we process over 50 tons of recyclable materials. We also use regranulate for the production of the three-layer TriplePak film, in which it constitutes the load-bearing, central part.
Strength
The use of regranulate in combination with knurling treatment means that TriplePak is distinguished by its exceptional tensile strength, tearing and piercing. Higher durability also means lower product consumption by the target consumer.
