Huhtamaki recently launched its ICON packaging. ICON is a paper packaging product which has been initially used for ice cream container lids. The company states the paper technology used to create ICON was created to enable recycling in communities with paper recycling programs.
Huhtamaki’s proprietary water-based barrier coating is combined with SFI-certified paperboard. The ICON packaging is reportedly made with 95% renewable biobased material that can be recycled along with other paper products such as folded carton packaging.
