Corrugated medium additives
Borregaard offers sustainable biopolymers that can be applied to recycle-based corrugated medium on film, pond, and spray sizer, enhancing the existing starch system.
The market demands stronger corrugated board to improve packaging efficiency and lightweighting. Decreased local supply of fresh fibre, necessitating reliance on imports, and the increased recycling rate of fibre can make production more expensive and lead to deterioration of quality.
Our Borresperse® Paper products can improve the quality of your corrugated medium while lessening the need for increased fresh fibre.
