Sylvicta’s sealing qualities are one of the central advantages of its design, says Jordan. Sylvitica is translucent, recyclable, compostable, marine-degradable, and proven to preserve foods and cosmetics effectively.Food and cosmetics applications

Sylvicta uses pulp certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) and Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC), produced on a ISO 14001-compliant site, and carbon-offset through the World Land Trust’s Carbon Balanced program. “Sylvicta is paper, which is sustainable by nature as it uses – in large part – wood pulp, a perfectly renewable raw material that contributes to a truly circular model.” Jordan says Sylvicta answers the call for both recyclability and reduced carbon emissions. While recyclability can be a major challenge for flexible plastics, plastics’ life cycle is often shown to produce fewer carbon emissions than other materials. The product is simply revolutionary – it can help to create the circular economy society we all desire.” “With Sylvicta, such solutions can be turned into fully recyclable, compostable and biodegradable paper packaging. “By taking virgin fibers to a microscale, we produce a paper with natural bonding and an exceptional barrier without the need of any harmful chemicals.”Īrjowiggins believes Sylvicta can replace single-use plastics throughout the packaging industry.
This creates a strong, dense, and clean paper without any need for fillers or transparentizing additives,” Jordan tells PackagingInsights. With micro fibrillation comes intense inter fiber hydrogen bonding.
“Through precision fiber refining, we create micro fibrillated cellulose fibers from wood pulp. Sylvicta has been in development for the past two-and-a-half years, says Christophe Jordan, managing director of the translucent papers division at Arjowiggins. The material is translucent, recyclable, compostable, marine-degradable, and proven to preserve foods and cosmetics. Scotland-based packaging company Arjowiggins is releasing a see-through barrier paper called Sylvicta, which it says could revolutionize the packaging industry.
