Mondi and Syntegon Develop Recyclable Packaging

Mondi and Syntegon Develop Recyclable Paper-Based Packaging To develop a recyclable paper packaging solution using recycled fibres for dried foods, Mondi, a global leader in packaging and paper, has partnered with Syntegon, a manufacturer of process and packaging machinery. The packaging uses Mondi’s award-winning EcoVantage kraft paper which has been approved by ISEGA for the entire food packaging industry. EcoVantage is made from recycled and responsibly sourced fresh fibres and was previously mainly used for paper shopping bags. Mondi’s dedication to making research and development investments and its successful collaboration with industry players has enabled the company to expand its application, meeting consumer’s growing demand for paper-based packaging. Elisabeth Schwaiger, Head of R&D and Intellectual Property Flexible Packaging at Mondi, commented, "Thanks to the close partnership with Syntegon and our extensive technical expertise and knowledge of paper, we can support our customers in making more sustainable choices. With high recycling rates of paper and the use of wood as a renewable material, we are delivering a packaging innovation that embraces resource efficiency, waste reduction and recyclability." Source
