With strong oxygen and moisture barrier properties, the product is compatible with existing recycling streams.<\/p>\n

The technology supports mono-material structures, enabling packaging manufacturers to meet performance needs while adhering to circular economy objectives.<\/p>\n

Developed in association with FPInnovations, CelluShield safeguards food, pharmaceuticals and other sensitive products without using harmful chemicals or complex multilayer laminates.<\/p>\n

Key attributes include high barrier performance and a recyclable mono-material design, supporting polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), or polyethylene terephthalate (PET) structures that comply with Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) and EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) standards.<\/p>\n

The product is described as safe and renewable, and PFAS, VOCs and chlorine-free.<\/p>\n

Designed for easy integration, CelluShield can be applied via reverse gravure [applied with an engraved roller] coating and works with standard lamination processes for PE, PP and PET films.<\/p>\n

It is offered as a ready-to-use coating for in-house application or as pre-coated film to streamline supply chain processes.<\/p>\n

CelluForce president and CEO S\u00e9bastien Corbeil stated: \u201cBrand owners and converters no longer need to choose between performance and recyclability.<\/p>\n

\u201cCelluShield delivers a practical solution that protects products, reduces carbon footprint and simplifies recycling while using a water-based technology that runs on existing equipment.\u201d<\/p>\n
