Paper Lamination

The Recycling Enabler.
Paper Lamination — Reinvented.

Paper packaging is widely adopted for its eco-friendly image — but laminated paper has historically been unrecyclable due to plastic coatings. SoluNova's biodegradable lamination film changes this entirely.

SoluNova enables laminated paper products to enter recycling and composting infrastructures without contaminating the paper recycling stream — offering all the core benefits of traditional plastic lamination with none of the environmental downsides.

Benefits for Brands

Differentiate with Fully Sustainable Packaging

Lengthened Shelf Life

Lamination offers a protective barrier against moisture, grease, and other factors — preserving quality and freshness in a durable, tear-resistant package.

Environmental Differentiation

Stand out from competitors with packaging certified to biodegrade in water or soil, marine-safe, releasing zero microplastics or toxins.

Regulatory Compliance

EU Packaging & Packaging Waste Directive requires all packaging to be recyclable by 2030. US EPR policies mandate 100% recyclable or compostable packaging within the decade. SoluNova delivers compliance now.

Seamless Integration

Our resin integrates with standard lamination machinery — saving time, money, and setup costs. No CAPEX modifications needed.

Independent Certification — CEPI / PTS

Confirmed Recyclable in Paper Mill

SoluNova's laminated paper was tested by PTS (Fibre-based Solutions Institute, Germany) under the 4evergreen Fibre-based packaging recyclability protocol. Certificate ORD-05716 issued 07/07/2026.

Extended Producer Responsibility

EPR Is Here. SoluNova Is Your Compliance Solution.

Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) regulations — enforced under national environmental management and waste legislation — hold producers, importers, and brand owners legally responsible for the end-of-life management of their packaging. Non-compliance carries significant financial and reputational risk.

01

Reduce Your EPR Liability

SoluNova's biodegradable flexible packaging dissolves completely — it doesn't contribute to plastic waste streams that trigger EPR fees and obligations.

02

Meet End-of-Life Requirements

Our materials are certified for multiple end-of-life pathways including recycling, composting, and full biodegradation — satisfying EPR recovery mandates.

03

Demonstrate Compliance

We provide material data and certification documentation to support your EPR reporting to Producer Responsibility Organisations (PROs) such as POLYCO and PACSA.

04

Stay Ahead of Regulation

Plastic regulations are tightening globally. Switching to SoluNova now protects your business against future legislative risk and cost increases.

EPR Regulations — What You Need to Know

Extended Producer Responsibility Regulations require producers of paper and packaging to register with a Producer Responsibility Organisation (PRO), report annually, and fund the collection and recycling of their products. SoluNova's water-soluble, biodegradable flexible packaging materials offer a pathway to compliance that goes beyond recycling — achieving complete end-of-life dissolution.
