Replacing fossil materials

Are you looking for new and sustainable materials to improve the environmental profile of your heat seal coatings? Replacing unsustainable polymers and avoiding harmful microplastics? Complying with tightening packaging regulations?

Ecohelix solution

Our heat seal coatings are derived from a sustainable raw material – responsibly sourced forests and pulp industry side streams. Bio-based alternative to plastics slashes reliance on fossil materials and boasts a carbon footprint of just 0.67 CO₂ eq/ton. Moreover, Ecohelix coatings can enable monomaterial structures with selected board grades. This improves recyclability and reduces waste. Ecohelix empowers you to meet tightening material regulations and chart a course towards a more sustainable future.
