Stora Enso is expanding its range of renewable packaging materials by introducing new dispersion barrier materials for paper cups and food packaging. The new barrier solution responds to market demands for eco-friendly, renewable and recyclable packaging materials to replace plastics in food service applications. The new dispersion barriers, Aqua and Aqua+ by Stora Enso, are fluorochemical-free and used to produce paperboard for cups and food service packaging without the traditional plastic layer. Aqua is grease resistant while Aqua+ is both liquid and grease resistant, enabling optimal packaging performance and protection for food in diverse applications. Stora Enso offers two baseboard options for the dispersion barrier. CKB Nude Aqua by Stora Enso is a natural brown kraft board for short-contact food packaging applications, including fast food and dry food. Cupforma Natura Aqua+ by Stora Enso is a material for paper cups, available with a dispersion barrier on one side for hot drinks or on two sides for cold drinks and ice cream packaging.
