Mondi launches re/cycle PaperPlus Bag Advanced

Mondi is launching its re/cycle PaperPlus Bag Advanced, a high performance paper bag designed to protect humidity sensitive goods, while significantly reducing plastic content. The innovative solution is designed to protect powdery products, offering excellent barrier performance against moisture and supporting recyclability.

PaperPlus Bag Advanced is a paper bag with a high performance barrier film that reduces plastic use in the building and construction industry. The paper bag features a thin, high performance 20 µm film to maintain moisture protection for humidity sensitive products. Compared to bags with a 50 µm film, it uses up to 60% less plastic and has a lower carbon footprint according to Mondi’s in-house lifecycle based PIA (product impact assessment) tool, while offering a comparable level of product protection. As part of the company’s re/cycle portfolio, PaperPlus Bag Advanced has been tested and confirmed recyclable according to the CEPI test method and 4Evergreen evaluation protocol.

The product was developed as part of Mondi’s long collaboration with flooring systems producer Uzin to protect its fast drying flooring solution. With its advanced water vapour barrier, the PaperPlus Bag Advanced keeps materials safe and dry, even in demanding conditions. Importantly, it runs seamlessly on existing filling and sealing lines, allowing for fast adoption without changes to production equipment.

Max Melzer, head of external sales industrial bags, said: ‘PaperPlus Bag Advanced is a future ready alternative for customers seeking to reduce plastic and meet performance demands without compromising on efficiency. At Mondi, we are ready to support our customers, considering the environmental impacts of our products at each stage of the value chain. Following our own MAP2030 goals, we are working hard to offer solutions that contribute to a circular economy while being fully tailored to our customers’ needs.’
