Nanocellulose describes a class of high-tech engineered materials made from plant fiber. These materials can enhance strength and barrier properties in paper and paperboard, resulting in biobased and biodegradable packaging that’s stronger, lighter and less expensive.
Stora Enso, BillerudKorsnäs, and other industry giants have already committed to expanding their use of nanocellulose in packaging. This first-ever study is a primer on how these and other investments – in production and R&D – could disrupt the massive global market for product packaging.
