By GlobalDataEcoCortec has also rolled out EcoBio Barrier Paper, which the company describes as recyclable, repulpable and biodegradable.
The product is made from 100% recycled fibre and features a biobased coating for short-term moisture and grease-resistant uses that avoid plastics and fluorochemicals.
These packaging options are aimed at delivering full corrosion protection while supporting more sustainable disposal and recovery routes.
Cortec CEO Boris Miksic stated: “The move toward genuinely sustainable packaging is not just an economic and environmental imperative. Products like EcoBio Barrier Paper are vital because they allow industries to maintain product integrity and safety without sacrificing the planet.
“Our certified sustainable VCI/VpCI packaging line delivers uncompromised corrosion protection while guaranteeing a plastic-free end-of-life, whether through recycling, composability, or biodegradation”.
