The new cartonboard grade FOODBOARD has been designed as to further protect cartonboard packed foodstuff, says MM Karton.
Its core component includes an ecologically sensitive and consumer-friendly barrier concept, thereby shielding packaged food from unintended substances in the packaging environment.
The company says long-term series tests have been successfully completed and a capital investment in a mid-double-digit million euro amount has been approved.
At the end of 2014, FOODBOARD will be supplied from the Austrian parent plant of MM Karton in Frohnleiten.
