UPM Specialty Papers and Michelman have created three solutions replacing multi-material, non-recyclable packaging with paper-based alternatives, which meet requirements for food contact and recyclability. The solutions will be exhibited at Pack Expo 2024 in Chicago, November 3-6. The first solution is a high barrier packaging material that combines UPM Solide Lucent base paper with three of Michelman’s water-based coatings, delivering oxygen and moisture vapor barriers with heat-sealability. It is ideal for sensitive products like chocolate and coffee.
