Mondi introduces NextLiner – the world’s first sustainable PCK release liner
• Mondi launches NextLiner, the first to market solution that reduces the environmental footprint of polycoated kraft (PCK) paper release liners • NextLiner uses recycled base paper and resins made from renewable resources
“Our goal is to be sustainable by design, so we have worked on innovating environmentally responsible NextLiners that support our customers’ sustainability goals. Using recycled fibres and renewable resins takes us one step closer to making the PSA supply chain more sustainable,” noted Stefan Schönberger, Head of Product Sustainability.
Usage of release liners continues to grow – polyolefin coated paper consumption is around 9 billion m2 per year with a market share of 16% of the total release liner market – which makes environmentally responsible alternatives in the sector all the more important. The launch of NextLiner is a first important step in the development of sustainable liners with more to come. Mondi is continually conducting research and development into more sustainable release liner alternatives (for PCK as well as paper- and film-based release liners) and recycling-related technologies as a part of the company’s commitment to contribute to a better world.
