Billerud has developed ConFlex HeatSeal, a recyclable, heat-sealable paper material to replace plastic in packaging applications requiring strong sealing performance and recyclability.
Robert Torstensson, vice president of business area paper at Billerud, commented, “With ConFlex HeatSeal, we offer a commercially viable, heat-sealable paper that supports businesses to transition away from plastic. It delivers strong sealing performance and recyclability within existing paper recovery systems and works within slightly modified converting processes where Billerud provides transition support.”
ConFlex HeatSeal has already been successfully used in the bedding segment by a major Swedish furniture brand, with potential for further applications in industrial and hygiene packaging.
The material offers a lower carbon footprint and provides a viable alternative for companies seeking to replace plastic packaging while using existing machinery and maintaining efficiency.
