Packaging

Current Research &


Technologies
Greaseproof and grease-resistant
papers are one of the common
packaging materials use in food
industry to package and protect all
types of greasy food.

Current Research &


Technologies
How these paper achieve grease
resistance?
Reduce the surface tension

But how to reduce surface tension?


Adding additives

Current Research &


Technologies

Fluorochemicals

Perfluorooctanoic Acid (PFOA) byproduct of


production of fluorochemicals
Stay in human body for a long period of time
Studies in lab & Human risk of getting
tumors & cancers
Migration of fluorochemicals from packaging
into food

Current Research &


Technologies
Fluorochemical-Free/PFOA-Free Greaseproof paper

Current Research &


Technologies
Produces Kraft Paper wrap
that provides moisture
barrier & compostability

Wine in paper-based bottle (made


from 80% pre-consumer
corrugated waste-recycling rate of
91%, carbon footprint is cut 67% &
transportation footprint is 18%
more efficient

Current Research &


Technologies
Lotus-like paper
packaging with
nano-modified
overprint varnish

Researches found

migrated from
recycle paper &
paperboard.
Solutions are still
under research to
reduce the migration
