FachPack 2019 | Sappi to present its paper range with sustainability focus

The Sappi Seal heat-sealable paper is ‘completely’ recyclable and can replace existing PE-coated packaging.

Sappi said the recently launched Atelier paperboard offers brilliant colour reproduction and a silky touch and feel.

Thomas Kratochwill, vice president sales & marketing packaging and speciality papers at Sappi Europe, said: “FachPack in Nuremberg is an outstanding opportunity to learn about the breadth and quality of our sustainable solutions. After all, our products are often used as a benchmark.”

He added that reducing the consumption of fossil resources in packaging is a major concern for Sappi.

“We have developed Sappi Seal, a functional paper with integrated heat sealing functionality and a dispersion coating on the reverse side, that can replace papers with a PE coating,” explains René Köhler, head of business development packaging and speciality papers at Sappi Europe.

The paper giant said Sappi Seal uses up to 75% fewer fossil resources compared with existing packaging solutions, and production also results in 48% less CO2 emissions.
