Mondi, a global leader in sustainable packaging and paper, has started operations on a new extrusion line at its Štětí plant in the Czech Republic.
This development supports the growing demand for eco-friendly packaging solutions and aligns with Mondi’s commitment to advancing the circular economy.
The new extrusion line, part of a larger investment in a state-of-the-art production facility, expands the output of FunctionalBarrier Papers and other coated papers. These recyclable, paper-based materials provide tailored barrier properties for applications ranging from food and non-food packaging to industrial uses like case linings and corrugated materials.
“This milestone reflects our dedication to helping customers achieve their sustainability goals while adhering to our MAP2030 commitments,” said Marko Schuster, COO Functional Paper & Films at Mondi.
FunctionalBarrier Papers, part of Mondi’s re/cycle portfolio, are designed to be recycled within Europe’s existing paper waste streams, offering a practical solution for reducing waste and keeping materials in circulation.
The new extrusion line at Mondi Coating Štĕtí enhances the production capacity of recyclable FunctionalBarrier Papers and other high quality coated papers, to meet the growing demand for sustainable packaging solutions.
