In a bold move towards a greener packaging future, UK-based supplier Chapelton has introduced Sustaina, a game-changing portfolio of sustainable packaging papers and boards. At the heart of this new range is Sustaina Black—the world’s first carbon free black pigmented barrier-coated paper and board, incorporating Nature Coatings’ innovative black pigment derived entirely from wood waste.
Far more than just a product launch, Sustaina represents a comprehensive sustainability initiative. Designed to meet the evolving needs of eco-conscious brands and converters, each material in the range offers a unique combination of performance, recyclability, and environmental responsibility.
Here’s what makes the Sustaina lineup stand out :
- Sustaina Black: A first-of-its-kind black paperboard with carbon-free pigment and an effective barrier coating. Approved for direct food contact, it boasts strong grease and moisture resistance.
- Sustaina Pack: A lightweight board with a 50% lower coating weight than conventional options. PFAS-free and recyclable, it performs excellently as a moisture and oil barrier.
- Sustaina Oven: Engineered to withstand temperatures up to 220ºC, this recyclable, heat-resistant board is ideal for ovenable packaging formats.
- Sustaina Cup: A mono-material, repulpable solution for beverage cups, offering a sustainable alternative to traditional PE coatings and PFAS-free to boot.
- Sustaina Flute: A PE and PET free microfluted corrugated board that’s both recyclable and resistant to grease and moisture, delivering function without compromise.
- Sustaina Flex: A flexible, heat-sealable barrier material that provides outstanding resistance to water, oil, and oxygen yet remains fully recyclable and repulpable.
