The European packaging industry is entering a new era.
With the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) driving the transition towards recyclable, renewable and circular packaging, manufacturers are looking for new materials that deliver sustainability without compromising technical performance.
At Sustainability in Packaging Europe this October in Barcelona, Innomost Founder and CEO Dr. Sami Selkälä will present:
From forest side streams to fossil free coating solutions
The presentation explores how Nordic birch bark, an underutilised side stream from the forest industry, can be transformed into high performance functional materials for packaging applications.
Meeting the challenges of the PPWR
The PPWR is accelerating demand for packaging materials that support recyclability while reducing dependence on fossil based raw materials. For coating developers and packaging manufacturers, this creates an opportunity to rethink material choices across the value chain.
One promising alternative is Suberin, a naturally occurring biopolymer found in birch bark.
From birch bark to functional coating materials
Innomost has developed Suberinno™ Suberin, a bio based material platform designed for demanding industrial applications.
Suberinno™ Suberin offers several functional benefits for coating formulations, including:
- High barrier performance
- Excellent adhesion
- Improved durability
- Renewable forest based raw material
- Industrial scalability through an efficient production process
By replacing fossil based coating components with renewable alternatives, suberin has the potential to support the development of next generation packaging materials aligned with the ambitions of the PPWR.
