Inventing smart paper that’s more powerful than ever before, yet still affordable, requires innovations at every stage of the process. We believe that we can only succeed by following the rules of circular economy, listening carefully to the needs of our partners and collaborating with agile teamwork and creativity.
In order to power change, we’ve combined the philosophy of 'designing paper’ with the potential of 'design thinking’. This combination is called 'paper thinking’ and we’re proud to call ourselves 'paper thinkers'.

A lifespan of responsibility
Product design led by responsibility
At every stage of the product lifespan, from raw materials to disposal, our team strives to find new ways to minimize our environmental footprint. We focus on designing paper from renewable sources, and ensure final paper packaging is recyclable, biodegradable and compostable.
1. Responsible raw materials
4. Optimized product lifespan
2. Optimized manufacturing
3. Improved converting & processing performance

Our design principles
Designing for
Function
Paper that provides specific barrier properties and is precisely tailored to the final application.
Designing for
circularity
Functional paper that is designed to cut waste and pollution.
Designing for
weight
Focus on lightweight papers for flexible packaging solutions.
Designing for
protection
Ideal packaging for protecting food products without affecting freshness and nutritional value.
Designing for
reliability
The excellent physical properties and strength guarantee perfect runnability on converting lines.
Product specifications
Oil & Grease
protection
Without using any plastic lamination we are able to adjust the oil and grease barrier properties (OGR) of our functional papers.
Water & Vapour
protection
Depending on the application we are able to tailor the water & vapour permeability of our packaging papers.
Oxygen barrier
Especially in flexible packaging applications the barrier to volatile mineral oil constituents, oxygen and flavoring substances is being addressed by our scientists.
Sealable
For flexible packaging applications the containment needs to be sealed. We cooperate with our customers on the development of sealing processes.
