Newark, Smart Planet Announce Strategic Collaboration

摘要

Newark Recycled Paperboard Solutions and Smart Planet Technologies, Inc., announce a strategic collaboration to evaluate the use of Smart Planet Technologies' EarthCoating technology in recyclable barrier paperboard solutions. Traditionally, barrier packaging materials used in forming hot/cold paper cups, ice cream containers, and folding cartons coated with 100 percent polyethylene or similar materials, are poor candidates for recycling, with low value if reclaimed, and often destined for the landfill. Smart Planet Technologies is working with Newark Recycled Paperboard Solutions to confirm that select grades of paperboard, can be commercially recycled as light and heavy print bleached board cuttings, thus providing significant economic and environmental gains. In addition, this solution provides great potential for the post-consumer recyclability of barrier-coated packaging.
