“The new barriers are aimed at retailers and brand owners who want to improve recyclability of their food packaging to meet eco-conscious consumers’ demands. The materials are suitable for paper cups, ice cream packaging and fast, frozen and dry food packaging”, says Ebba Mannheimer, Head of Business, New Barrier Solutions, Division Packaging Materials.
All Stora Enso boards are made of sustainably sourced, renewable wood fiber. The surface of the Aqua products is finished with water-based dispersion technology, enabling the board to be liquid and grease resistant while breaking down in a recycling process like paper, providing the highest fiber recovery and value in recycling.
For various design opportunities and functionality, Stora Enso offers two different baseboards with the dispersion barrier. CKB Nude Aqua™ by Stora Enso is a natural brown kraft board for short-contact food packaging applications, including fast food and dry food. Cupforma Natura Aqua+™ by Stora Enso is a material for paper cups, available with a dispersion barrier on one side for hot drinks or on two sides for cold drinks and ice cream packaging. The materials can be printed and converted on existing machine lines.
