PITA (Paper International Technology Association) has published a new study commissioned by DS Smith and Aquapak which shows that innovative, bio-digestible barrier coatings increase paper recycling rates and fibre yield, without compromising functionality thus providing a viable new packaging alternative which is ready and available for use. Key findings highlighted…

Aquapak recently commissioned a standard Life-cycle Assessment (LCA) to look at the amount of energy it takes to produce Hydropol polymer, which is outlined in the Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) An EPD is an independently verified and registered document that shares clear and comparable information about the lifecycle environmental impact…

Soluble barrier maximises fibre recovery rates critical to meeting circular economyNew barriers are non-toxic, marine safe and dissolve, leaving no traceNo compromise on packaging functionality New research conducted by Aquapak Polymers highlights that ‘recycle ready’ adhesives and fully soluble barriers can replace plastics in fibre-based packaging, making it fully recyclable…
