Some papers are coated with a plastic film to improve moisture resistance. However, the film poses problems for processors. It is difficult for them to recycle paper waste that is covered with a film. The film performs the function of protection against water. You have to spend more time shredding waste. As a result, the performance of the equipment decreases. More energy and other resources are spent on such processes.
Converters are offering to replace the film currently used to coat the paper with another coating. An option is a polymer coating that can quickly dissolve in water. It, like the film, will help protect the paper. But in the process of processing will not cause the above problems. In addition, with the help of such a coating, it will be possible to protect the paper much more reliably than when using a plastic film. This coating is already called barrier. There are enough advantages of its use to talk about its use in the production of paper products.
In recent years, converters have become actively involved with the paper industry. The reason for this was the demand for paper recycled materials. Paper mill owners have already realized that they need to use recycled materials to support production. This raw material allows you to reduce the cost of production, which has a positive effect on sales. It is known that the price of primary raw materials is growing. Because wood is getting more expensive. If the paper industry is focused only on the use of primary raw materials, then the manufacturing business will become unprofitable. In addition, the paper business understands that wood is a natural resource. Such a resource must be protected. As a result, they began to work closely with processors. And it is quite realistic to assume that they will listen to the proposal of representatives of the processing industry, because it is profitable and, most importantly, reasonable from the point of view of protecting the environment.
