BRIDGING THE BARRIER FROM PLASTIC TO PAPER

  • Based on high amylose starch, Kuraray’s PlanticTM offering is shaking up the world of performance packaging.  The ability to provide gas barrier with a plant-based solution is a unique proposal in the area of packaging circularity.  A best-in-class LCA shares reduced carbon emissions with a product which offers shelf-life extension and food waste reduction.  With end-of-life scenarios of compostability or recyclability, the PlanticTM offering can be reclaimed in the recovery of rigid plastics or repulped and recycled in the paper stream when used with paper or paperboard substrates.  This is truly a compelling offering for the multilayer barrier films market where recyclability is a challenge.  The proposed submission plans to highlight the property space, industry demand, commercialization, market adoption and environmental contribution of this unique natural barrier solution.
