FINLAND: New barrier boards for cups and food service packaging

The new dispersion barriers Aqua™ and Aqua+™ by Stora Enso are fluorochemical-free and used to produce paperboard for paper cups, ice cream packaging and fast, frozen and dry food packaging without the traditional plastic layer.

Aqua is grease resistant while Aqua+ is both liquid and grease resistant, enabling optimal packaging performance and protection for food in diverse applications. All Stora Enso boards are made of sustainably sourced, renewable wood fiber. The surface of the Aqua products is finished with water-based dispersion technology, enabling the board to be liquid and grease resistant while breaking down in a recycling process like paper, providing the highest fiber recovery and value in recycling.
