In collaboration with Eastman, we have introduced a paper-based solution that is heat-sealable and designed for food applications requiring grease and oxygen barriers, such as confectionary or cookie packaging.

This solution combines Eastman's compostable and biobased Solus™ performance additives with BioPBS™ polymer to form a thin coating onto UPM's compostable and recyclable¹ barrier base papers.

The lower coating thickness reduces plastic usage and enables recyclability of food packaging.
