MONDI is launching a high-performance paper bag designed to protect humidity-sensitive goods, while reducing plastic content.
The firm’s re/cycle PaperPlus Bag Advanced solution aims to protect powdery products, offering ‘excellent’ barrier performance against moisture and supporting recyclability.
The paper bag is tipped to reduce plastic usage in the building and construction industry. It features a thin 20 µm film to maintain moisture protection.
Compared to bags with a 50µm film, Mondi said it uses up to 60% less plastic and has a lower carbon footprint according to the company’s in-house lifecycle-based PIA (Product Impact Assessment) tool, while offering a ‘comparable’ level of product protection.
The product was developed as part of Mondi’s collaboration with flooring systems producer UZIN to protect its fast-drying flooring solution. The PaperPlus Bag Advanced keeps materials safe and dry, even in demanding conditions. It runs on existing filling and sealing lines.
Max Melzer, head of external sales industrial bags at Mondi, said, “PaperPlus Bag Advanced is a future-ready alternative for customers seeking to reduce plastic and meet performance demands without compromising on efficiency. At Mondi, we are ready to support our customers, considering the environmental impacts of our products at each stage of the value chain. Following our own MAP2030 goals, we are working hard to offer solutions that contribute to a circular economy while being fully tailored to our customers’ needs.”
