ANTALIS has announced it is offering MetsäBoard Prime FBB EB, a recyclable and compostable barrier board for fresh food packaging.
The lightweight dispersion barrier coated paperboard is hailed as a ‘cost-efficient’ replacement for single-use plastic packaging that can be ‘easily’ recycled in paper or paperboard waste streams.
MetsäBoard Prime FBB EB is made without fluorochemicals and optical brighteners (OBA), making it suitable for direct food contact. The product is biodegradable and can be composted industrially and at home, Antalis added. The industrial compostability certification complies with DIN EN 13432 and ASTM D6400 standards, while the home compostability certification complies with NF T 51-800 – all DIN CERTCO certificates.
The range allows Antalis to offer a board for many applications where barrier properties are required.
Steve Chappell, graphic and cartonboard development manager at Antalis, said, “This leading barrier folding box board offers customers a premium protective, strong, lightweight and sustainable solution for food application projects.”
