Paper, an essential part of our lives, is symbolic of circular resources—it is made from abundant, renewable wood and supported by well-established recycling systems. Expanding paper’s potential applications is therefore crucial in building a sustainable society.
Papermaking chemicals contribute to expanding paper’s possibilities by enhancing its strength, water resistance, and recyclability.
In recent years, we have been developing functional paper coatings to replace plastic films in packaging materials, further expanding paper’s potential.
