Barrier Coating Starches

The Oil and Grease Resistance (OGR) bio-barrier market is expected to grow as more companies invest in sustainable packaging solutions. Innovations in material science and coating technologies will likely drive this growth and make starch-based and other biodegradable barriers more competitive, when compared to traditional materials. Additionally, regulatory pressures and consumer demand for more sustainable products will continue to shape the market dynamics within this space.

Our solutions

Starch-based materials are increasingly being used as more sustainable alternatives for OGR barriers in paper packaging. These materials offer several advantages over traditional synthetic barriers (e.g. fluorochemicals), which are commonly used, but which can pose environmental and health concerns, according to the European Chemicals Agency.
