Did you know?

The majority of consumers order takeout or delivery at least once per week, considering the convenience of delivery.

Because it’s so difficult to cost-effectively separate polyethylene linings from paper, containers are often sent to landfill.

Consumers are willing to pay more for products with environmentally friendly packaging.

Let's talk about the elephant in the room

We use and dispose paper coffee cups, take-out, soup or frozen food containers and countless other paper and paperboard packaging items each day.

It’s a small part of our lives that creates an elephantine amount of waste in landfills. It’s time to address the problem with real alternatives to polyethylene – but first, let’s get a visual of the waste it creates.

JONCRYL® HPB High Performance Barrier

BASF products offer the possibility to formulate different coatings for barriers

These products can be mixed and used in different formulations considering the properties that are required. That means a unique finished coating and the opportunity to expand offerings for paper and paperboard packaging.

The "Kenntnis/Wissenschaft/Science" consists of knowing which substrate, caliper, coat-weight, coating method (flexo, roto gravure, rod, curtain, knife, other), and if single or multiple layers will be applied, to determine which product to use. For starting point formulations visit our Lab Assistant Tool.

JONCRYL HPB 1631-A is an excellent option for a low moisture vapor transmission rate (MVTR), moisture barrier, heat-sealable, global food contact compliant and low COBB.

JONCRYL HPB 1702 is an excellent option for grease and oil barrier up to 60°C in both flat and folded/creased paper and paperboard, heat-sealable and global food contact compliant.

JONCRYL HPB 4010 and JONCRYL HPB 4030 are excellent options for PE replacement, work as a primer and topcoat binder system, also offers moisture barrier, heat-sealable, good blocking resistance, global food contact compliant, repulpable and recyclable.

What do we mean by repulpability and recyclability?

Good question!

Repulpability refers to the ability to convert paper back into pulp, whereas recyclability is generally about the capability of being processed into new paper or paperboard.

Now formulators can use JONCRYL HPB 4010 and JONCRYL HPB 4030 to create repulpable and recyclable packaging according to the Fibre Box Association (FBA) voluntary standard for corrugated boxes, internal lab testing, and third-party industrial testing.

Repulpability and recyclability depend on specific process, product, and polymer of choice. Contact a BASF expert to understand these options.
