Mondi and chemicals company Evonik have jointly developed a recyclable, pre-made paper bag designed for chemical powders. The packaging solution has been created to cut the carbon footprint of packaging for fumed silica, which is used as a performance additive in various industrial and consumer applications.The innovation replaces a plastic-coated paper layer with a two-ply, pre-made, paper-based solution. The new packaging achieves a weight reduction of 30% and a lower carbon footprint, as assessed by Mondi’s internal Product Impact Assessment tool.
