Felix Schoeller Unveils Advanced Fiber-Based Packaging Solutions with Recyclable Barrier Technology at Fachpack 2025"

Felix Schoeller is showcasing innovative fiber-based packaging solutions at Fachpack 2025, addressing the challenge of applying high-performance barriers to paper packaging while maintaining recyclability. Their new multilayer dispersion curtain coating can apply up to five water-based barrier layers, offering flexibility, recyclability, and resource efficiency for sensitive food packaging like confectionery and snacks. Summary The European Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) increases pressure for recyclable packaging that also meets stringent protection standards. Felix Schoeller’s patented five-layer dispersion curtain coating uses water-based barriers, providing an alternative to established extrusion coatings, suited especially for thin, flexible paper substrates. Early applications include primary packaging for chocolate bars, highlighting practical use cases of this innovation. With over 130 years of expertise, Felix Schoeller continues to lead as a transformation partner towards sustainable fiber-based packaging with a broad range of coating technologies.
