Moisture barrier paper is a must-have for the packaging industry. Unfortunately, polyethylene (PE) or wax coatings are the traditional means of sealing porous paper to slow the transmission of water vapor. The resulting product presents an environmental problem because it cannot be recycled through normal channels. A fully repulpable barrier material is the answer for environmentally conscious users who want to be part of the “circular economy” in their packaging choices. Cortecmeets this need with EcoShield Barrier Paper, a fully recyclable barrier paper that does not rely on plastic coatings for moisture resistance.
