J&J Green Paper Inc. (JJGP), US, takes strong steps to focus on the production of the JANUS® product line to fight the ongoing global plastics crisis. JJGP is developing 23 manufacturing facilities to exclusively produce JANUS-based products in Indonesia, India, Thailand, and China, meanwhile, negotiations for 30 additional plants are underway.
JANUS® is an innovative compound and process created by JJGP. The compound is used to produce water-resistant paper and packaging, free from toxic oil-based materials. It can cost-effectively replace 40 million metric tons of Polyethylene lamination, which is conventionally used to achieve moisture-proof barriers on traditional paper products. Polyethylene lamination is known to emit hazardous greenhouse gases during decomposition, which JANUS can easily eliminate while meeting industrial performance standards. JANUS offers an all-natural, organic, recyclable, compostable, and repulpable moisture-proof coating for paper and paper packaging.

JJGP has partnered with Sintesa Group and Anmol Polymers Private Limited to facilitate the production of JANUS. While Sintesa Group is a Jakarta-based strategic investment firm, Anmol Polymers Private Limited is an Indian company specializing in the production and distribution of specialty products for the paper industry.
The company has closed several transformative global agreements to meet early-stage orders from major brands for its JANUS product line.
As Mr. Rick Bulman, President of JJGP, explained, “These agreements mark a significant turning point for the paper industry, propelling the establishment of manufacturing plants worldwide that will employ JANUS to reshape the landscape. With a growing demand for non-plastic alternatives, JANUS has the potential to revolutionize the USD 2 trillion paper, paper packaging, and plastics markets, ushering in a sustainable era. JANUS provides a safer, more profitable, and superior alternative to existing paper coating technology.”
