Technology Overview

Paper-based materials are among the more environmentally-friendly packaging options. However, conventional coated paper poses challenges in recycling. Introducing a water-based coating formulation with repulpable constituents enhances the recyclability of paper-based packaging. This innovation holds the potential to replace single-use plastics with sustainable paper-based products.
