NoviaWrap - the environmentally responsible packaging solution

NoviaWrap is a fully recyclable and bio-degradable self-adhesive corrugated board, that can be easily disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner through standard waste paper reprocessing systems. This contrasts starkly with plastic bubble-film lined padded envelopes, where the only disposal options are land-fill or incineration.

The `green` credentials of NoviaWrap were independently confirmed as long ago as 1991, when it was awarded the coveted German RESY mark, which is granted only to products, that are 100 % re-pulpable in the recycled paper making process.

As the German RESY approval of NoviaWrap was based solely on laboratory tests, further studies were undertaken by PIRA, the leading paper industry independent research institute in the UK, to confirm that NoviaWrap could indeed be satisfactorily broken down within an actual waste-paper processing plant under standard manufacturing conditions.

A mill trial was undertaken to simulate the effects of an occasional batch of waste containing a significant quantity of NoviaWrap. No problems in respect of stock preparation, machine running or final product quality were detected. NoviaWrap can therefore be fully recycled by typical waste-paper processing mills.
