A UK company has developed a biodegradable substitute for metallic paperboard laminates in response to growing demand from retailers and consumers.
API Laminates says PortaBio is a 'technological breakthrough' which is also environmentally friendly.
PortaBio is a bio-laminate made from natural cellulose-based fibres sourced from managed forests, which are processed and laminated to provide a high-gloss metallic surface which is especially suited to luxury consumer packaging.
Paperboard laminates are traditionally made using metalised polyester films and polyethylene, which are difficult and costly to manage as waste.
