“CKB is more stable and robust than other products we use. In fact, if we have print problems with other products, we tend to switch to CKB in order to get the job out the door. I would say it’s a higher quality CUK.”

For many, coffee from a paper cup is part of a daily routine. Yet it remains a common myth that it is difficult to recycle paper cups after use. Overall, more than 80% of paper and cardboard packaging is collected for recycling in Europe, making paper and cardboard the most recycled packaging material in Europe. There is a lot of potential in collecting paper cups for recycling, as – unlike many believe – they can be recycled in the existing recycling processes.
Our new Aqua barrier for paper cups and food service packaging is designed for effective recycling.
