Billerud, a leading packaging materials company, has launched ConFlex HeatSeal, a groundbreaking recyclable and heat-sealable paper packaging material designed to replace plastic in various applications.
This innovative product aims to meet the growing demand for sustainable packaging solutions while maintaining high sealing performance.
The new ConFlex HeatSeal offers several key advantages:
-
Recyclability: The material can be recycled within existing paper recovery systems, reducing environmental impact.
-
Versatility: While already successfully implemented in the bedding segment by a major Swedish furniture brand, ConFlex HeatSeal has potential applications in industrial and hygiene packaging.
-
Plastic replacement: The product supports businesses in transitioning away from plastic packaging without compromising on performance.
-
Efficiency: ConFlex HeatSeal works with slightly modified converting processes, with Billerud providing transition support to ensure smooth implementation.
Robert Torstensson, Vice President of Business Area Paper at Billerud, emphasized the product's alignment with the company's sustainability goals, stating, "With ConFlex HeatSeal, we offer a commercially viable, heat-sealable paper that supports businesses to transition away from plastic".
This development builds on Billerud's existing ConFlex product line, which has already proven to be a strong alternative to plastic packaging materials. The company's ConFlex papers, made from 100% primary fiber from Nordic forests, offer excellent printability, strength, and barrier properties for various packaging applications.
By introducing ConFlex HeatSeal, Billerud continues to demonstrate its commitment to creating high-performance packaging materials for a low-carbon society through innovation. This new product not only addresses the growing demand for sustainable packaging solutions but also provides a practical option for companies looking to reduce their environmental footprint without sacrificing efficiency or performance.
Billerud is a global leader in the production of high-quality paper and packaging materials. With a strong commitment to sustainability, quality, and customer value, Billerud serves customers in over 100 countries. The company operates nine production facilities strategically located in Sweden, the United States, and Finland.
