North American paper manufacturer and supplier Dunn Paper has launched a sustainable coated paper technology to act as an alternative to plastic packaging.
Watch: Paper Mart Fortnightly News Roundup.
Named BiOrigin, the fluorocarbon-free product platform uses barrier and containment technology that contains no chromium or styrene.
The product has been launched after several years of development.
The company used bio-based coatings for the technology to meet renewability, recyclability and compostability requirements for certification.
Dunn uses bio-based polymers as a sealing agent to enhance product freshness while shielding products from external elements. BiOrigin paper is printable and can be customised with clients’ preferred branding and designs.
