The Ideal Coating Material

Futeon PLA excels in paper coating, boasting superior gloss, transparency, and printability. Its excellent flavour and aroma barrier properties make it an optimal choice for preserving the quality and freshness of food products.

Compostable Solutions

One of the main challenges with film and coating is the low recyclability of the final product when it is mixed with other materials (e.g., cardboard, paper etc.). In these specific cases, products made with Futeon are ideal: using PLA can create 100% compostable packaging, on the contrary of conventional polyolefin paper coatings.

Futeon™ PLA, being industrially compostable, offers new opportunities by providing a more sustainable solution for the end-of-life valorisation of coated packaging and cups.
