Paptic enters hygiene and feminine care packaging industry with a recyclable material combining sustainability, convertability and elevated user experience

Paptic for hygiene packaging

Paptic Ltd, a high-growth company manufacturing wood fibre-based packaging materials, is stepping into the hygiene and feminine care packaging sector with a groundbreaking, wood fibre-based material designed to meet the industry’s growing demand for sustainable packaging to replace plastics. This innovative material is easily recyclable with paper and cardboard and delivers a soft and pleasant user experience.

“We’ve developed a material that not only enhances sustainability but also elevates functional performance,” says Alexandros Skouras, Hygiene Segment Director at Paptic. “This solution seamlessly replaces traditional plastics, offering a renewable and recyclable alternative. It’s perfectly suited for personal care products, where comfort is a key priority.”

The Single-Use Plastic Directive (SUP) recognizes paper as a sustainable alternative to plastics, and Paptic® materials fall within this classification. Made from renewable wood fibres, Paptic® is fully recyclable and compatible with the circular economy. It can be processed on existing plastic converting lines, enabling manufacturers to make an effortless transition towards more sustainable packaging solutions. The lightweight, heat-sealable material is available with FSC® certification, underscoring Paptic’s commitment to sustainability and responsible sourcing. “Our R&D efforts focus on developing recyclable wood fibre-based materials that help our customers reduce their dependence on plastics, while optimizing resource use both in materials and to enhance circularity, keeping materials in material use as many life cycles as possible,” adds Alexandros Skouras. In Europe, the collection of fibre-based packaging materials is well above 84% already now, and all the fibre goes to new fibre-based solutions as a raw material.

Paptic’s entry into the hygiene and femcare markets represents a significant step toward reducing plastic waste, providing manufacturers and consumers with a sustainable, high-performance alternative.
