Sustainable products
Our commitment to sustainable development.
Poligof is determined to make today’s and tomorrow’s world more sustainable, with a special focus on the preservation of resources.
To meet this challenge we have developed backsheet solutions which include yield optimization, bio-based materials, recycling and compostability.
BACKSHEET FROM RECYCLED PLASTICS
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. With the increasing attention on waste disposal and recycling, finding commercial applications for recycled plastics is becoming of utmost importance. Thanks to proprietary technologies, we can convert our own scraps into backsheet films, which can be used as alternatives to their equivalents made of virgin raw materials.
Key Features:
- White or pigmented films, printable
- Breathable as well as non breathable
- Recycled content from 50 to 100%
- Controlled and safe chain of custody
- Compatible with existing non-wovens to produce textile backsheet
BIO-BASED BACKSHEET “IDENTITY PRESERVED”
Made from plants, not from oil.
Bio-based plastics have the unique potential to reduce GHG emissions or even be carbon neutral. Plants absorb atmospheric carbon dioxide as they grow, and using them to produce bio-based products contributes to the reduction of greenhouse gases (CO2) in the atmosphere.
Key Features:
- PE films and nonwovens made from annually renewable resources (sugar cane, cellulose, starch)
- Film as well as breathable laminate solutions
- Reduced carbon footprint
- Drop-in solution for standard PE films
- Bio-based content up to 75
BIO-BASED BACKSHEET «MASS BALANCE APPROACH»
A further step towards sustainable plastics.
A bio-based backsheet range by POLIGOF that takes advantage of the mass-balance principles and ensures simplified production flows without compromising sustainability: the amount and sustainability features of bio-based content in the value chain is tracked, and the share of biogenic feedstock is attributed to specific batches of product, based on verifiable bookkeeping.
Key Features:
- Breathable and non-breathable films and laminates
- ISCC PLUS certified (BIO or BIO circular)
- Drop-in solution for fossil-based material, does not require new product validation
- Streamlined process
BIO-BASED AND COMPOSTABLE TEXTILE BACKSHEET
From nature to nature: perfect synergy between plant-based raw materials and natural end-of-life solutions, thanks to compostable biopolymers.
Backsheets made of compostable biopolymers allow brand owners to provide a double environmental benefit to their consumers:
- reduced use of fossil resources
- multiple end of life options
Key Features:
- Film made of compostable biopolymers, obtained from starch or sugar resources
- Non wovens made of wood-based viscose or starch-based PLA
- Breathable
- Compostable
COTTON – ENRICHED TEXTILE BACKSHEET

Key Features:
- Non woven made of synthetic fibers enriched with natural cotton fibers
- Renewable plant-based raw materials
- Safe and clean, compliant with Reach and CLP regulations
- Compatible with Nordic Ecolabel
- Organic cotton and GOTS certificate option
- Several options available: from 5% to 15% cotton blends
- Breathable
- Soft touch and smooth feel
