Paper alternatives to plastic packaging need coatings to enhance performance.
Most existing coatings stop paper, paperboard or cartonboard from being recycled. Or they’re not bio-based.
We help create a circular flow of coated paper materials. So fewer end up in landfill.

Landfill vs recycling
Maximising the amount of material you reclaim can reduce carbon emissions.01 Our coatings help companies cut their carbon footprint by allowing more fibres to be repulped and recycled.
