In 2022 we developed an environmentally friendly packaging sheet
with high barrier properties2 that prevents the transmission of
oxygen and water vapor as packaging materials for food, cosmetics,
and medical products. At the same time, the use of mono-material
paper facilitated increased recyclability.
Development
In recent years, as an indicator of eco-friendliness in the
recyclability of paper packaging, efforts have been witnessed in
Europe and the United States to improve the recycling effect of
paper as a renewable resource, by increasing the repulpability to
more than 80%.
In response to these challenges, DNP is putting efforts into
expanding our line-up of eco-friendly packaging2. In this latest
development, we have further improved the high barrier paper
mono-material sheet for packaging, and will commence the provision
of a revamped product with advanced recyclability that also
maintains barrier-free features.
Going forward
DNP will provide high barrier paper mono-material sheet to
manufacturers of food, cosmetics, and medical products. We will
also leverage our proprietary converting technology, to expand our
lineup of environmentally friendly products and services with
enhanced barrier properties, and will deploy them in the global
markets where demand for reducing environmental impact is
growing.
The product will be exhibited at the DNP booth at INTERPHEX
JAPAN 2024 to be held at Tokyo Big Sight from June 26 to 28,
2024.
