Conventional barrier seals for absorbent articles rely on multi-material laminates that cannot be processed in standard recycling streams. Transitioning to natural fiber structures addresses the environmental persistence and waste management limitations of traditional plastic-heavy packaging.

Standard high-barrier packaging relies on non-recyclable multi-material layers that cannot be processed in paper streams. Developing biodegradable or mono-material laminates addresses the incompatibility between functional barrier performance and circular waste requirements.

Paper-based flexible materials often lose protective barrier properties or structural integrity after initial opening. Maintaining a functional seal through multiple use cycles enables the replacement of non-recyclable plastic laminates in high-moisture or sensitive product categories.

Incorporating recycled polyolefins into flexible packaging often leads to compromised structural integrity and inconsistent barrier properties. Addressing this allows for sustainable material use without sacrificing package durability or product shelf life.
