Mondi has revealed that it has switched more than 95% of its range of release liners and extrusion solutions to PEFC and FSC certified base paper sources.
The company says this is a further step towards responsible sourcing and transparency in the supply chain and reflects its commitment to develop solutions that are ‘sustainable by design’.
By using certified paper sources, Mondi aims to support traceability and sourcing from responsibly managed forests. It adds that all parties involved are committed to producing responsibly sourced paper.
Jurgen Van der Donck, sales and business development director for Functional Paper and Films at Mondi, says: “As part of our MAP2030 goals, we are committed to circular driven packaging and paper solutions and taking action on climate change. Offering a product portfolio made from certified paper is part of this commitment. This step helps us to improve our range of release liners and extrusion solutions, such as our FunctionalBarrier Paper range, while providing the best possible solutions for our customers and end users.”
Mondi recently introduced its recyclable, mono-PE-based FlexiBag Reinforced, a range of pre-made plastic bags said to have improved mechanical properties. The bags are apparently recyclable where collection facilities and recycling systems for PE films are in place.
In similar news, Abriso Jiffy and BridgeInsight have revealed Jiffy FlexiBag in an effort to eliminate unnecessary packaging and reduce waste, a paper-based e-commerce solution that flexes to the size of the product being shipped. The companies expect that this feature will negate the need for oversized boxes and excess material to fill empty space.
