Hello, everyone. I'm Charlotte. I'm from the Sterimed group, company. So Sterimed it's a global medical packaging manufacturer. We are manufacturing film materials and top web breathable materials, such as ETIPEL or polybons, cellulose based. And today, we are very proud to present you ETIPHARMA XPA.

It's our new medical film that is recyclable. It's a multi layer, seven layers, PAP film that is fully recyclable in the LDP pathway. We certified it with the Cyclos certification. Cyclos is a German certification quite renowned in much country that is recycling,  that is assessing the recyclability of products. And from Cyclos, we got an 81  percent recyclability rate, showing that we have a good recyclability, and our film is compatible with the existing LDP pathway to recycle it.

And why we developed our film? We developed it because it's very important for Sterimed to have a minimal impact on the environment and to act on the raw materials above during the production to have minimal impact on production and on the afterlife of the product.

And what is important regarding RxPA is that we developed it so that it's designed to seal really well with our top web packagings that are cellular space, so we can offer a more sustainable packaging solution to our customer for having less environmental impact.
