Mondi, a global leader in sustainable packaging and paper, has launched IntegoBag with a free film barrier layer used in the construction industry. The new IntegoBag simplifies recycling and is designed to transport building materials and ensure their shelf life through protective barrier coatings instead of a free film.
Mondi’s FunctionalBarrier Paper provides the required moisture barrier to protect the content, significantly reducing PE content in its new solution.

To produce IntegoBag, Mondi leverages its integrated value chain: from creating the kraft paper from responsibly sourced fibers, enhancing it with a functional barrier coating, to bag converting, the solution is fully produced in-house. The innovation offers a fit-for-purpose moisture barrier while reducing plastic by up to 50%.
Mondi’s innovative solution is certified recyclable based on tests conducted in its recycling laboratory in Frantschach according to CEPI v.2 test method and 4evergreen’s fibre-based packaging recyclability evaluation protocol.
