High-barrier Bio-Based Resin and Water-based Primer Integration for Recyclable Packaging Webinar

As the packaging industry accelerates toward sustainability, collaboration among material innovators is key to delivering solutions that meet both performance and environmental goals of converters and brand owners. Through a partnership between Kuraray’s PLANTICTM, a leading developer in bio-based resins, and Mica Corporation, an expert in water-based primer technology, this work focuses on the development of recyclable, high-barrier, paper-based flexible packaging to replace traditional multilayer structures and support circularity.

This high-barrier, paper-based package is designed for food and consumer goods, where oxygen and moisture protection are critical. By integrating a thermoplastic starch with a water-based primer, converters can achieve strong interlayer bonding, enhanced barrier performance, and compatibility with existing paper recycling streams. This collaboration represents a significant step toward reducing plastic usage without compromising functionality, offering brand owners and converters a practical pathway to meet sustainability targets and regulatory requirements.

Keywords:
