Swedish company Billerud, specialising in sustainable packaging materials, has launched a recyclable, heat-sealable paper solution intended to replace plastic in packaging solutions that require strong sealing performance.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The company said ConFlex HeatSeal has a smaller carbon footprint and serves as an alternative for businesses aiming to replace plastic packaging while continuing to use their existing machinery and maintaining operational efficiency.<\/p>\n

Billerud further noted that its ConFlex HeatSeal solution has been launched in the bedding sector by a leading Swedish furniture brand, with its potential reaching well beyond, extending to various applications in industrial and hygiene packaging.<\/p>\n

Billerud paper business area vice-president Robert Torstensson said: \u201cWith ConFlex HeatSeal, we offer a commercially viable, heat-sealable paper that supports businesses to transition away from plastic.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt delivers strong sealing performance and recyclability within existing paper recovery systems and works within slightly modified converting processes where Billerud provides transition support.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s great to see how we live our purpose to make high-performance packaging materials for a low-carbon society through innovation.\u201d<\/p>\n

In December last year, Billerud teamed up with<\/a> Industrikraft to increase Sweden\u2019s capacity for producing competitive fossil-free electricity.<\/p>\n

Industrikraft functions as a joint platform for Swedish industrial companies to ensure a reliable and sustainable energy supply.<\/p>\n

The platform promotes conversations around financing and developing the country\u2019s future energy system.<\/p>\n
