kraft paper

• Mondi has created a paper packaging solution to wrap and transport PET beverage bottles, replacing plastic shrink wrap
• Hug&Hold is a recyclable 100% paper-based solution, comprising two elements: a kraft paper sleeve and a corrugated clip
• Innovative solution devised in-house by Mondi’s specialist teams and has been validated for automated packing processes

FMCG brands, including beverage producers, aim to reduce their use of unnecessary plastic.

The European Union (EU) has lifted its ban on exports of waste paper to India from April 1, providing relief to the paper industry affected by the raw material shortage.

Waste cuttings or papers are one of the important raw materials for the paper industry, particularly for manufacturing kraft paper which in turn is used for making brown or corrugated boxes used for packing all items from FMCG to electronics.

The EU had banned the exports of these cuttings in November last year. When India raised the issue, the officials there attributed it to a clerical error.
