Recyclable and compliant

Right now, there’s an urgent trend for replacing plastic packaging with paper designs—to comply with regulations for reusability, recyclability and responsibility like the EU’s PPWR. These heat-sealable coatings are compatible with recycling processes and make it possible to swap plastic for paper-based packaging that supports the transition to a circular economy.

Versatile and fast

Heat-sealable coatings from AQUENCE HS range are food-safe. They can also be used on non-food applications such as hygiene products, fashion items or e-Commerce packaging. And they enable high-speed processes that seal more than 600 packages per minute.
