Problem
Packaging manufacturers and CPG brands face increasing pressure to replace single-use plastics and plastic-coated paper with sustainable alternatives that meet food safety, regulatory, and performance requirements. Existing solutions often compromise barrier properties, recyclability, or cost, making the transition to eco‑friendly packaging difficult.
Solution
PakItGreen develops custom barrier and functional coatings, as well as advanced additives, that enable paper, paperboard, and molded fiber packaging to be food‑safe, compostable, biodegradable, repulpable, and recyclable without using plastic or PFAS. Their formulations provide oil, grease, moisture, and water resistance, along with heat‑sealing capability, while preserving or enhancing the material’s recyclability. By working directly with CPG companies, packaging converters, and paper manufacturers, PakItGreen tailors each coating or additive to the specific performance and application needs of the customer, ensuring compliance with evolving regulations and cost‑effective scalability. The result is a high‑performance, environmentally responsible packaging solution that supports the industry’s shift away from single‑use plastics.
