Industry leaders are actively exploring innovative solutions to reduce waste and minimize the environmental impact of packaging, and an example of this is Covestro's partially plant-based dispersion barrier coating for paper food packaging. This innovation from the German company is a partially bio-based solution that replaces replace polyethylene-aluminium solutions, and ultimately make paper fibres more readily recyclable.
Decovery CQ 6010 is a new product that's oil- and grease-resistant, and it has the potential to provide the benefits of moisture barrier protection for products like chocolate bars, ice cream, frozen food and even fresh fruit.
The CPG industry is increasingly embracing paper-based packaging as a sustainable alternative to traditional materials, responding to consumer demands for eco-friendly choices.
