Possible to recycle

Packaging can only contain a few percent of non-paper material to be accepted in regular recycling streams. Vacuum metallization helps meet this requirement by being extremely thin - about 20-40 nanometers, over 200 times thinner than aluminum foil. ConFlex CoatBase Met is fully recyclable and produced in an integrated process, optimizing resource use to reduce carbon emissions.
