Billerud launches recyclable cartonboards built for strength and moisture resistance

In response to rising demand for recyclable packaging that performs under pressure, Billerud introduces two new cartonboard grades: CrownBoard Carry and CrownBoard Light. Designed for strength and moisture resistance, the new packaging materials expand the CrownBoard portfolio and support brand owners in meeting both performance and sustainability goals.

Like all CrownBoard products, the new grades are made from fresh fibers and designed for easy recycling in existing streams. By avoiding wet-strength additives, they align with upcoming EU regulations that will require packaging to be fully recyclable by 2030.

“Brand owners and converters are looking for packaging materials that help them reduce carbon footprints, lower EPR fees and meet future recycling regulations. And this is where our new CrownBoard grades really shine” says Niki Jennische, Senior Director Product Management Cartonboard at Billerud.

That’s a wrap! Mondi’s new Advantage StretchWrap paper offers a more sustainable choice for pallet wrapping

Mondi collaborated with the Italian machine producer ACMI to create a new wrapping system for pallets that uses paper instead of plastic. By transforming the way pallets are wrapped, Advantage StretchWrap reduces the supply chain’s reliance on plastic, moving to a renewable and fully recyclable material. Advantage StretchWrap (patent-pending) is a brand new lightweight paper grade from Mondi made specially for wrapping pallets. It is able to stretch and resist punctures, providing robust protection for goods during transit. The current industry standard for pallet wrapping is a multi-layer plastic material with low recycling rates. The Advantage StretchWrap paper, along with ACMI’s Rocket E-500 wrapping system, makes it possible to switch to a fully recyclable pallet wrapping solution. The paper’s impressive stretchability and high-tensile strength makes it a reliable alternative for transport. Acceleration tests to simulate transportation with ESTL equipment (performed according to EUMOS 40509(1)) and real life transportation trials confirmed that pallets wrapped with Advantage StretchWrap are safe.
