Material

NGP Multibarrier Paper is the combination of deforestation-free raw materials with a sustainable coating of unprecedented functionality. With this EU-compliant innovation, we are taking the issue of plastic waste prevention a quantum leap forward.

MULTIFUNCTIONAL. 
SUSTAINABLE. RECYCLABLE.

NGP papers are made from tree-free or deforestation-free raw materials produced according to strict sustainability criteria. All NGP products are coated with a novel, water-based dispersion varnish that gives the paper barrier properties comparable to plastic. Free of toxic effects on the environment. At the same time, NGP products provide all the practical advantages crucial for the packaging industry in the future. A prime example is our premium paper made from sugar cane:

  • resource-efficient production
  • food-safe
  • GMO-free
  • free from bleaching agents and dyes
  • excellent water, fat and water vapour barrier
  • optional oxygen barrier
  • cold and heat resistant
  • sealable
  • fully recyclable in the waste paper stream
  • fully printable on non-coated side

The NextGenPaper production process 

Our certified manufacturing process supports consistent sustainability management along the value chain. It enables the seamless tracing of raw material sources. And we have calibrated it for the greatest possible flexibility and productivity. 

Paper

When selecting our paper suppliers, we urge them to be conscious of their carbon footprint, use environmentally friendly raw materials and comply with NextGenPaper values.

BARRIER-COATING

The patented, water-based and PE-/PLA-free NGP dispersion coating is our key technology. The worldwide demand for this INGEDE-certified coating from controlled production is met at the German site.

COATING PROCESS

NextGenPaper has patented its coating processes for various paper qualities. NGP products can therefore be manufactured to strictly controlled quality standards via licensees anywhere in the world.

The NGP All-Star

Tree-free Multi-Barrier Paper from Sugar Cane

Our multibarrier papers made from the sugar cane waste of sugar production are the beacon product from NextGenPaper. They are made from waste from the sugar cane industry called "bagasse". Qualitatively, they are in no way inferior to wood-containing paper - yet they are veritable sustainability champions:

  • no additional areas under cultivation
  • rapidly renewable raw material upcycling of a waste product
  • lower raw material consumption compared to wood-containing paper bleech-free production, no optical brighteners, no colouring chemicals
  • natural coloured sugar cane paper saves 12.6% energy and 13.0% water (compared to bleached sugar cane paper)
  • odourless pulping process that is harmless to health

Growth and Harvest Period

Today, 650 million tonnes of bagasse remain unused worldwide every year. At the same time, every fifth felled tree falls victim to the paper industry. By converting bagasse into paper, half of these trees could be saved.
