Say goodbye to non-renewable packaging and protect your products with recyclable barrier papers. UPM’s unique barrier papers are made with fibres from sustainably managed forests. They protect your product without the need for a plastic coating and can be recycled with regular paper waste.
New! UPM Asendo Pro™
Recyclable packaging paper with advanced grease resistance and superior print quality
Depending on the end-use, you can choose protection from medium to advanced barrier properties, while ensuring a sustainable impact on the shelf.
