Clarifoil®
Clarity. Sustainability. Innovation.

Clarifoil® is a sustainable and highly aesthetic cellulose acetate film, providing impressive performance and excellent visual appeal for a wide range of applications.

Formulated with a renewable, high purity grade wood pulp, Clarifoil® is certified biobased and offers an excellent alternative to fossil-oil based films. The wood pulp is sourced from a PEFC accredited forestry program that ensures trees grow naturally without genetic modification.

Sustainability

Sustainability is at the heart of the Clarifoil® film range. Celanese has been perfecting cellulose acetate films in Spondon, UK since 1949, securing the first certification for Clarifoil® industrial compostability in 2006. All our standard gauges from 14 to 115µm are suitable for industrial and home composting, as well as anaerobic digestion, aligning to the circular economy concept. Safety and quality are of paramount importance and our factory runs to ISO standard: 14001:2015 and 9001:2015.

Structurally, Clarifoil® is a monomaterial, allowing us to reprocess internal film waste into the first-class product. Clarifoil® is never a virgin material; we continuously add reprocessed material to each new batch.

Circular Economy

Clarifoil® films don’t compromise on quality, providing a perfect material for high-end markets, where packaging must impress potential customers, whilst allowing sustainable end-of-life options that don’t add to the microplastic problem including:

  • composting and biodegradation in a home compost heap, bin or machine
  • composting and biodegradation at industrial composting facilities
  • anaerobic digestion with food waste to produce biogas
  • composting on site (deli shops, hospitals, schools, hotels) in composting machines
  • incineration for energy recovery without noxious substance
