New Plastic-Free Eco-Barrier Paperboard for Food and Food Service
Metsä Board is introducing a new plastic-free eco-barrier paperboard that can be recycled in paper or paperboard waste streams according to local recycling programs. The new MetsäBoard Prime FBB EB features a medium barrier against moisture and grease, making it especially suitable for food and food service packaging. And, since the eco-barrier board is plastic-free, it does not require a plastic separation process, making it easy and cost-efficient to recycle.
“Packaging is a necessity – for food distribution and safety – as well as avoiding food waste. Paperboard packaging made from renewable materials is a sustainable choice. With further development of the barrier properties of the paperboard, we are now able to provide a solution for a greater number of applications. Our new plastic-free eco-barrier paperboard provides many opportunities for food and food service packaging as well as other end uses where barrier properties are needed,” says Katja Tuomola, Business Development Director, Metsä Board.
