Mondi<\/a>, a global leader in packaging and paper, has completed the transition to polyethylene (PE)-free wrappers for its entire Mondi-branded cut-size paper portfolio produced at Mondi SCP in Ru\u017eomberok, Slovakia. The Neusiedler mill in Austria is scheduled to complete its transition to PE wrappers by 2026. This milestone strengthens Mondi\u2019s position as an industry leader in sustainable paper solutions and supports customers in meeting sustainability goals and regulatory requirements.\u00a0<\/p>\n The PE-free wrappers are now available in both matte and glossy finishes for Mondi\u2019s leading brands, including NAUTILUS, BIO TOP 3, IQ, MAESTRO, Niveus, Color Copy and DNS.\u00a0<\/p>\n By removing the polyethylene layer traditionally used in cut-size ream wraps, Mondi\u2019s paper-only wrapper can be recycled more efficiently. It enables easier fiber recovery and eliminates the need to separate plastic from paper during the recycling process\u2014while continuing to protect the product and maintain visual appeal.\u00a0<\/p>\n Market tests confirm that the PE-free solution performs on par with PE-coated wraps. The transition reduces plastic use by approximately one kilogram per tonne of finished cut-size paper, lowering material impact across both Slovak and Austrian production sites.\u00a0<\/p>\n The development and roll-out of the PE-free wrapper is the result of Mondi\u2019s ongoing investment in R&D and process optimization. Comprehensive internal testing and customer trials have verified high reliability in packaging protection, storage and end-use performance.<\/p>\n \u201cOur move to PE-free wrapping is more than just packaging optimization; it reflects our strong commitment to sustainability<\/a>. Customers can continue to rely on the same high-quality paper they know, now delivered in a wrapper that offers significantly improved recyclability,\u201d said Bernhard Cantzler, Marketing & Sales Director, Mondi Uncoated Fine Paper.<\/p>\nSolid benefits for the environment and customers<\/h4>\n
