Cortec\u2019s barrier paper portfolio just got more sustainable! Industries looking for environmentally responsible options in the area of barrier packaging should take a closer look at the new\u00a0EcoBio\u00a0Barrier Paper, a premium recyclable, repulpable, biodegradable barrier paper designed with the \u201ccircular economy\u201d in mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sustainability from Start to Finish<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

EcoBio\u00a0Barrier Paper starts the product life cycle as 100% recycled paper stock coated with a biobased (90-100% renewable organic carbon per ASTM D6866) and biodegradable (per OECD 301) barrier coating. In contrast to traditional barrier packaging that relies on polyethylene or foil to create a barrier, EcoBio\u00a0Barrier Paper has no intentionally added plastics (or PFAS or fluorochemicals) to hinder recycling or biodegradation. Similar to\u00a0EcoShield\u00a0Recyclable Barrier Paper, EcoBio\u2122<\/sup>\u00a0Barrier Paper can be recycled through normal paper recycling streams instead of ending up in the landfill. However, EcoBio\u00a0Barrier Paper goes a step further with its biodegradable, biobased coating that has the potential to open even more sustainable end of life options depending on local regulations. Most importantly, EcoBio\u00a0Barrier Paper tackles moisture and grease resistance without the risk of plastic or foil pollution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who Needs Barrier Packaging?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

EcoBio\u00a0Barrier Paper and Linerboard can be used in a variety of short-term packaging applications where moisture or grease is a concern. The barrier serves several purposes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Discourage moisture from entering or exiting the package<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Avoid grease or oil seepage<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Maintain packaging integrity in the presence of moisture or grease<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Wrapping items in EcoBio\u00a0Barrier Paper can help keep them dry as shipments pass through unpredictable environments with fluctuating humidity and weather patterns. Similarly, EcoBio\u00a0Barrier Paper (also available as linerboard) can be used to line wooden crates or cardboard boxes (which have a tendency to absorb moisture), thus keeping goods out of direct contact with the potentially damp walls of the package. Conversely, EcoBio\u00a0Barrier Paper can be used to keep moisture or grease from leaching out of the package when, for example, metal auto parts are lightly coated with oils that could soak through and break normal paper.*<\/p>\n\n\n\n
