GAZİANTEP – SUPEX 2011 ALG BOPP film (double-stretched polypropylene film), which was developed from seaweed grown on land as a result of R&D studies of Süper Film Ambalaj Sanayi ve Ticaret AŞ, company of SANKO Holding in the packaging sector, received an international award. With the packaging produced, dependence on oil and fossil resources is reduced, while recycling is also provided.
SUPEX 2011 ALG BOPP film (double-sided stretched polypropylene film), developed by SANKO Holding’s company in the packaging industry, Süper Film Ambalaj Sanayi ve Ticaret AŞ, from seaweed grown on land as a result of R&D studies, The world It was deemed worthy of an award in the “Packaging Materials and Components” category at the WorldStar Awards, the most prestigious competition in the industry, organized by the Packaging Organization. SUPEX 2011 ALG BOPP (double-stretched polypropylene) film, which can be used in food and non-food packaging applications, contains a certain amount of biopolymer. In this way, the dependence of the packaging on petroleum and derivative fossil resources is reduced. An important feature of the biopolymer used in the film structure is that it is obtained from seaweed grown in terrestrial environments. In this way, it is possible to produce biopolymer without using any agricultural resources and without any negative effects on the food chain. In addition, the relevant film can be recycled with standard PP packaging materials and reused in a circular economy.
Expressing that they are happy that their successful work in the field of innovation and R&D has been rewarded on internationally respected platforms, Özer underlined that they aim to produce more square meters with thinner films and to pack more packages with less kilograms, thanks to the new technologies they have developed, and they have achieved this.

We produced bio-based packages from algae as a result of a study we carried out from seaweed grown and harvested. We aimed to use less petroleum-based packaging materials. How paper “If we do not cut forests for our products and use growing forests in the pulp industry, we also produced biopolymer raw materials made from seaweed as Super Film. We continue to work in different areas as well.”
