UPM Specialty Papers, a business of UPM, has developed a biopolymer-coated paper packaging solution in collaboration with global speciality materials company Eastman.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The packaging is tailored for food applications that demand effective\u00a0grease and oxygen barriers.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The new product combines Eastman\u2019s compostable Solus performance additives with the BioPBS polymer, resulting in a thin coating applied to UPM\u2019s barrier base papers, which are compostable and recyclable.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The new packaging solution enhances the barrier properties of UPM\u2019s Solide Lucent and UPM Prego base papers, but also offers exceptional heat sealability.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The solution is designed to retain barrier protection when folded, making it ideal for flexible packaging.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The technology can be recycled within existing fibre recycling streams, supporting brands in their transition to more sustainable packaging options.\u00a0<\/p>\n
