FMCG companies are under pressure to package their products sustainably. Will plastics prevail thanks to improved raw materials and recyclability?
At Metsä Board Kemi mill, the operators can see the board quality hours into the future and prevent disturbances that cause end-product defects. Predictive Wet End, a digital service by Kemira, increases transparency to the complex wet end chemistry.
In this webinar, we’ll introduce our new dispersion barrier that helps reduce and replace plastic in food service paper and board and enables renewable, recyclable, and repulpable fiber-based food packaging.
The right dose of chemicals to the right place at the right time. The recipe for optimized water treatment performance at a pulp or paper mill is simple, but the varying conditions make it difficult in practice.
Recently, Kemira asked a group of industry experts to engage in scenario work to investigate the possible futures of food packaging. One of the four scenarios identified paints a picture of a strictly regulated market. What kind of challenges and opportunities would this mean for the fiber-based packaging value chain if it became a reality?
When food-related goods and services are only a few clicks away from consumers, what is required from food packaging? Quite a lot, and chemistry plays an important role in enabling the functionalities required of fiber-based packaging. An expert panel investigated some possible future scenarios for food packaging, and discovered a future where convenience is king.
It’s time for the entire value chain to pool its efforts to make a lasting impact with sustainable and circular packaging solutions. One such forum is the 4evergreen alliance, which Kemira is participating in.
Sunflower oil instead of fossil-based olefins – Kemira innovation in internal sizing chemistry helps paper and board producers increase the share of renewable raw materials in their production. Here are the most frequently asked questions about our novel renewable sizing chemistry, the sunflower ASA, and answers to them.
In Kemira R&D, complementing and replacing fossil-based raw materials with renewable ones is a goal of several on-going projects. One such project is the EU funded VEHICLE, which keeps Research Scientist Brita Peltokoski busy.
Recently, Kemira investigated what food and its packaging could look like in ten years’ time. Four possible futures were identified in the scenario work, and one of them is all about green packaging experiences.
