Sustainable barrier coating for packaging grade paper

包装在我们的生活中无处不在，消费者和政府现在正在推动行业开发更环保、更容易重复使用和回收的新产品。这些发展为纸浆和造纸业提供了几个机会，以改善其在包装市场的竞争地位，并增加基于纤维的包装的生产。这反过来又为该行业提供了将现有的新闻纸厂(面临需求严重下降)转变为生产纸板和其他包装产品的可能性。本研究项目的目标是开发一种可回收、可再生、可生物来源和可堆肥的新型涂层屏障。该项目包括从实验室工作到创新纤维中试涂布机的试点试验等活动。

Packaging is omnipresent in our life, with consumers and governments now pushing industry to develop new products that are more environmentally friendly and easier to reuse and to recycle. These developments open several opportunities for the pulp and paper industry to improve its competitive position in the packaging market and to increase the production of fiber-based packaging. This in turn provides a possibility for the industry to convert existing newsprint mills (facing a severe decline in demand) to the production of cardboard and other packaging products. The objective of this research project is to develop an innovative coating barrier which is recyclable, repulpable, biosourced and compostable. This project include activities from laboratory works to pilot trials on Innofibre pilot coater.
