As manufacturers look to reduce plastic packaging while maintaining performance in demanding industrial environments, Mondi is working closely with customers to deliver paper‑based alternatives.
In partnership with SwissKrono, a global producer of wood‑based materials for interior design and construction, Mondi enabled the transition from plastic laminate flooring packaging to paper-based packaging solutions that support efficiency, protection and circularity.
The challenge: replacing plastic without compromising performance
Plastic shrink and stretch films offered proven performance in SwissKrono’s operations, but also came with environmental limitations. Any alternative needed to work within a high-volume, automated production environment while delivering the same level of reliability.
Key requirements included:
- Consistent performance on existing machinery
- Strong product protection during transport and high load stability
- Operational reliability and efficiency in fast-paced production lines
- Improved handling for customers and end users
- Reduced plastic use and lower carbon emissions
The solution: high-performance paper designed for industrial use
To meet these requirements, Mondi and SwissKrono implemented two high-performance kraft paper-based solutions across different stages of the packaging process.
