The Good

Recyclable in the paper recycling stream unlike most flexible packaging alternatives
Paper recycling works effectively in most places around the world, with kerbside collection widely available
There is no limit to the number of times paper can be recycled making it a highly circular material
More cost-effective than most bioplastic alternatives to flexible packaging
Durable, highly functional and can be used as a direct replacement for plastic in numerous formats

The Bad

Flexible packaging formats like pouches are likely to be sorted out of paper recycling streams as the majority are made from plastic with a thin paper outer layer
The material needs to be thick in order to meet paper recycling standards (120um+) limiting its use to pouches and robust form / fill / seal machinery
Although still undergoing certification for acceptance in paper recycling streams, it has been successfully trialed and accepted by several recycling facilities

Raw materials

Paper

Paper plays a critical role in packaging as a versatile, sustainable, and cost-effective material, widely used for its protective properties, eco-friendliness, and branding potential.

Recycled LDPE

Recycled Low-density Polyethylene (LDPE) is a common ingredient in sustainable packaging, obtained by collecting and processing post-consumer LDPE items like plastic bags and packaging materials. These are cleaned, shredded, and transformed into pellets for the production of new packaging materials.
