4. Certified compostability
• Biopolymer-coated paperboard breaks down to humus
and CO2 in industrial composting.
• In recycling schemes, biodegradable products are
primarily intended into the collection of compostable
materials, but can be recycled together with PE coated
packages.
• Board as such is biodegradable and all the biopolymers
we use are compostable
• Bio materials meet the compostability requirements of the
EN 13432 standard

extremely thin layers on the baseboard, on one side
or both sides of the substrate.
• Biopolymer coating provides the desired
Moisture barrier
Grease barrier
Oxygen barrier
Sealability
• Oxygen and grease barrier properties of biopolymer
coating are even higher than LDPE
