rePAPER’s Coating Solution Corresponding to Global Standards!

 



rePAPER developed RP-series, the patented environmentally friendly paper coating solution, and produces the coated board REPA COAT, and food packaging as its application. rePAPER’s products are proven to be truly environment-sound with its superior material and organic recyclability as well as to be food-contact safe.

This time, we will introduce the certificates rePAPER owns and what features each of them refers to.

1. Recyclability (Material Recycling)

The post-consumer products can be entirely repulped and used as a raw material for another paper-based product.


2. Compostability (organic recycling)

: rePAPER’s products planted in the garden are degraded by microbes and become fertile compost.


3. Food contact safety

: The products are safe to be in contact with foods as primary packaging. 

With the objective and clear data achieved in accordance with the international standards, rePAPER has proven the environmentally friendly and harmless properties of the products. We will continuously strive to enhance the resource sustainability in a wider range of industries by developing various applications with our environment-friendly coating solution.

[Special Article] Everything About Plastic and Our Choice for Tomorrow 5. Invisible Threat, Microplastics

Image
Other than rice, bread, and water, what do you think we intake every day?   According to the report released by New Castle University in 2019, we eat plastic that is equivalent to a credit card per week. Plastics produced in 2015 were 320 million tons and 146 million tons of them, accounting for 42%, were used for packaging which mostly ended up in the environment as microplastics. Researchers are warning that these can be a greater threat to the ecosystem than the waste that is easily spotted with our bare eyes. How are the microplastics generated and why should we be alert? We will check the definition of microplastics and their hazardousness and how we should act.   What are microplastics? Microplastics are a term for solid plastic particles with functional additives in a size of 100nm – 5 mm and the term was first used by Dr. Richard Thompson in 2004. Depending on how they are produced, microplastics are categorized into primary plastics and secondary plastics. Primary mi...

Guidelines to Enhance Paper-Based Packaging Recyclability ①

Image
As the environmental awareness has been growing rapidly in the world, ‘resource circulation’ and ‘sustainability’ have been considered as the most important values in every industrial field. In a way to cooperate with this global movement, CEPI, the Confederation of European Paper Industries, released ‘Paper-based Packaging Recyclability Guidelines’ in November, 2019. It provides every subject in a value chain with the considerations in order to enhance the recyclability of paper-based packaging.   Check Points on Each Material for Recycling The main functions of packaging are to prevent a product or food from being lost or spoiled while delivering the information about the item. The primary food packaging especially requires to meet a variety of standards: They must not cause any harm to our health and need to be waterproof or grease resistant to hold different kinds of foods. Paper-based packaging obtains these properties by coating or laminating on base paper. However, the...
