Metpack and BASF cooperate to demonstrate certified home-compostable, coated paper for food packaging

 

For sustainable food packaging, the extrusion coating specialist Metpack, Istanbul, now offers coated paper and paperboard which is certified home-compostable according to DIN EN 13432. Metpack’s paper Ezycompost benefits from a coating with BASF’s ecovio® 70 PS14H6. The biopolymer is certified home-compostable (EN 13432 and AS 5810) and adds several advantages to paper for food packaging: It is food-contact approved (FDA) and shows excellent barrier properties against liquids, fats, grease, and mineral oil as well as temperature stability at boiling water (up to 100°C). This combination of proven compostability and excellent performance gives paper packaging manufacturers and food brands the certainty that food packaging articles made of Ezycompost can be safely used by consumers and create no persistent mircoplastics in home compost after usage.
