Aegis Recyclable barrier papers

Mondi’s AegisPaper range decreases the amount of plastic used by substituting it with a renewable source with superior mechanical properties, such as puncture resistance, flexibility, printability, and barrier protection. 

The coatings technologies used in these papers create custom barriers for grease and water vapor and assure sealability. AegisPapers are proper for various packaging applications in the pet food, frozen food, dry food, secondary packaging, toy, e-commerce, flower packaging, confectionery, and DIY industries.

Functional Barrier Paper

The functional barrier paper can substitute plastic packaging that has conventionally been used for FMCG and consumer products. In a primary step, Mondi’s joint with a European dry pasta producer will decrease the plastic done by 90% and keep them 7,5 tonnes of plastic film per year for one of their product series. This food packaging and other commercialized solutions will be joining the market in the first half of 2021.

“Sustainability is at the center of our strategy, and I am pleased that this continues to be a focus for our customers. Thanks to combining Mondi’s know-how of papermaking, coating, printing, converting, pouch, and bag making alongside our expertise in selected end-uses for consumers, we make ‘paper where possible, plastic when useful,’ a reality. This launch is a breakthrough for the next generation of sustainable packaging.
