Kruger Specialty Papers has joined the Sustainable Packaging Coalition (SPC), a membership-based collaborative that believes in the power of industry to make packaging more sustainable. Kruger Specialty Papers shares the SPC’s vision of a world where all packaging is manufactured responsibly using processes that minimize environmental impacts.
“The SPC is a natural fit for Kruger Specialty Papers because our product lines are currently the most sustainable in the Canadian marketplace. By using cellulose filaments (CF), Kruger Specialty Papers is able to manufacture products from thermo-mechanical pulp, unlike all our competitors that use alternative fibres,” explained Rich Reutti, Director of Sales, Kruger Specialty Papers. “Our products manufactured with cellulose filaments deliver better performance at lower basis weights, which is a clear benefit for our customers because they will lower packaging costs and reduce their environmental footprint at the same time.”
Kruger Specialty Papers is Kruger’s newest division, created in fall 2017, manufactures a line of specialty products for niche applications such as food packaging and labelling, among others.
