This project establishes a new partnership between Innofibre and Kruger inc. for the development of a novel bioactive paper for food packaging made using different bioactive formulations and different surface treatment methods and processes.****The work that will be performed to deliver the project scope is composed of laboratory/pilot paper surface treatment trials and trial samples testing.****The strategic plan of Kruger is to achieve its strategic vision of being the leader in innovative food packaging products, technologies, and services; committed to a sustainable and better future, strategic goal of expanding beyond its core communications newsprint paper business, where demand is declining, and strategic objective of positioning itself as a supplier of choice in specialty paper markets with growing demand. The products and results of this project aligns with Kruger's strategic plan to ensure that it contributes to the overall objectives of the organization.****This project will contribute to training of the college students on the process of manufacturing bioactive paper. The knowledge gained during this project will improve the knowledge of Innofibre' team as well as those of Kruger Specialty Papers. This close collaboration between Innofibre and Kruger will promote the technology transfer throughout Kruger Bromptonville and Wayagamack facilities.
