WHAT IS CERASLEEVE ?
CeraSleeve® is a patented paper coating technology that
minimizes waste, maximizes material recovery and conserves resources.
The key advantage of our ultra-thin and eco-friendly solution lies in its ability to replace conventional wet-strength and sizing agents with a sustainable material.
CeraSleeve® is completely free of plastic and can be applied to a wide range of products.
THE CHALLENGES
OF MANY PAPER PRODUCTS TODAY
Paper is a highly sustainable and natural product. However, numerous paper products undergo functionalization to enhance their physical properties.
For instance, wet-strength papers like paper towels are treated with wet-strength agents, whereas water-resistant papers are often modified with sizing agents. These paper products share the following challenges:
Hardly recyclable
Today, wet-strength or water resistant paper products are hardly recyclable in conventional processes.
Made of fossil fuels
Most paper additives and coatings today consist of polymers made from fossil raw materials.
They are not bio-degradable and a source of microplastic.
Potential risk to our health
Side products from wet-strength and sizing agents can migrate from paper into food and are suspected to be harmful.
OUR SOLUTION
Imagine if we could enhance the sustainability of consumer products by harnessing the brilliance of nature.
This very question inspired us to pioneer a groundbreaking approach to crafting a functional additive for paper.
No detrimental chemicals, no harm to the environment and no health concerns.
Our technology is exceptionally clean and powerful.
100%
recyclable
CeraSleeve® coated paper can easily be recycled in conventional processes. In that way, valuable fibers re-enter the cycle and are recovered instead of being burnt.
0%
Microplastic
CeraSleeve® consists of silica, which is fully inorganic. Silica can be found in large quantities in nature and is neutral to the environment.
0%
Harmful substances
CeraSleeve® does not harm the environment or health. Silica is widely used in cosmetic, food, and pharmaceutical products.
WHY CHANGING TO CERASLEEVE?
Our breakthrough technology incorporates cutting-edge research and innovation for the paper industry's benefit.
