Our re/cycle FunctionalBarrier Papers
By applying different barrier technologies to paper - such as extrusion coatings, aqueous coatings, and other very high barriers - Mondi has created a solution that is fit for a range of purposes.
From medium barrier solution for industrial, eCommerce and personal care packaging, to the high barrier functional paper which is perfect for frozen foods and chocolates. The very high barrier solution is suited to consumer food products such as coffee, cereals and confectionery.
