Menasha Packaging [8] has announced a license agreement with Smart Planet Technologies, [9] developers of Earthboard® [10]whereby Menasha’s Folding Carton Group will now offer the material to its customers.
EarthBoard is a composite packaging material made with recycled fibers and stone, offering a bright white printable surface with barrier protection against water, oil, fatty acids, and grease. It has the flexibility and performance of traditional poly-coated boxboards, says Menasha, but it is better for the environment by reducing the use of plastic and bleached virgin tree fibers in food packaging applications.
EarthBoard is also FDA-compliant to meet food companies’ safety needs. It can be used for refrigerated and frozen foods, as well as for traditional food packaging.
