Ahlstrom’s Cristal™ transparent paper transforms Maped’s eraser packaging to a more sustainable alternative

Ahlstrom, a leading manufacturer of innovative fiber-based materials, in collaboration with adapa, a leading supplier of flexible packaging solutions, and Maped, a prominent stationery brand, is proud to introduce a groundbreaking flowpack solution for eraser packaging.

Ahlstrom’s Cristal™ base papers are an optimum solution for transparent packaging. By partnering with adapa and Maped, the three companies have developed fiber-based window packaging for a popular school supply – erasers.  

“This collaboration between Ahlstrom, adapa, and Maped is an example of our shared dedication to sustainability and responsible business practices,” said Guillaume Lavoue, Product Manager for Ahlstrom. “By offering a transparent paper alternative, we are empowering companies and consumers to find fiber-based alternatives for traditional plastic or film substrates without sacrificing functionality or aesthetics.” 

Cristal™ is manufactured from natural cellulose fibers, yet this innovative transparent paper offers the same level of functionality and durability as traditional plastic packaging. By using renewable and biodegradable materials, Cristal™ provides an eco-friendly alternative without compromising on quality.

Confectionary brand, Smarties, switch their products to recyclable paper packaging

Nestlé recently announced that its well-known brand, Smarties, will be using recyclable paper packaging for all of its products worldwide! This represents a transition of 90% of the Smarties range, as 10% was already packed in recyclable paper packaging. The rollout of the new material, which will be complete in the UK and Ireland by April, makes Smarties the first global confectionery brand to move to paper packaging, removing approximately 250 million plastic packs sold worldwide every year. The innovative new designs includes sharing bags, multipacks and giant hexatubes made from coated paper, paper labels or carton board, all produced from sustainably sourced and recyclable material. Alexander von Maillot, Global Head of Confectionery at Nestlé, said: “Moving Smarties packaging to recyclable paper is one of our key sustainable packaging initiatives in the confectionery category. It is a further step in realising Nestlé’s ambition to make all of our packaging recyclable or reusable by 2025 and to reduce our use of virgin plastics by one-third in the same period.”
