What are the environmental advantages of paperboard with aqueous lining?
Recyclable: Unlike PLA lined paperboard, it can be recycled without additional processes. PLA lined products can be industrially composted, but they can’t be home composted or recycled. PLA also has a more significant negative impact on the environment, so aqueous lining is a more sustainable alternative. It can be recycled (if there’s no food residue) in standard paper recycling waste streams. And, it can be industrially or home composted. Biodegradable: the material naturally decomposes in six months or less. Compostable: Packaging is fully compostable through commercial (1-3 months) and home (6 months) composting. Renewable: Trees are a renewable, natural resource. Most paper mills manage their own forests, and for each tree they cut down, they plant several more to ensure the growth rate stays stable and environmental impacts remain low. How does paperboard with aqueous lining compare to alternative products?As well as being more sustainable than other paperboard products, there are many benefits to its functionality:

Paperboard packaging with aqueous lining is recyclable, renewable and even if it does end up as litter, is still biodegradable.
