Kotkamills’ new ISLA range of food-service boards represents the next generation of opportunities to support sustainable packaging solutions and waste reduction. With modern, on-the-go lifestyles, consumer demand for coffee, food and drinks to-go continues to grow all over the world. Food-service packaging plays an important part in this convenience lifestyle, as more and more disposable cups and plates are needed. We believe that these solutions should be made as sustainable as possible. Today, too few disposable cups and plates are recycled, even though they could be. That is why we wanted to develop a more easily recyclable and repulpable set of products, resulting in a range of onmachine, coated barrier boards for the food-service industry.. By applying our unique waterbased, dispersion-coated barriers to pure, natural cartonboard, cups and plates made from this material can be easily recycled and repulped. Naturally, these new cartonboards are designed to run on existing cup- and plate-making machinery

Since 1872, with roots in Kotka, Finland, Kotkamills today is a responsible partner that delivers sustainable products and high-quality performance for its customers’ processes via product innovations created from Nordic wood, a renewable raw material.

The world needs a more sustainable and ecological packaging. Kotkamills’ range of cartonboards represents the next generation of opportunities to support sustainable packaging solutions without compromising quality or the freedom to create unique designs. All our innovative next-generation packaging board solutions, including barrier products, are recyclable, repulpable and renewable. Kotkamills’ board options are suitable for a wide range of end uses such as frozen and chilled food, fast food, dry food, other food (e.g. dairy products, fruits, vegetables), beverages, confectionery, pharma, cosmetics and several types of non-food packaging as well as graphic applications. Kotkamills’ product portfolio includes AEGLE® Folding Boxboard and ISLA® Food Service Boards, both of these including the options of on-machine added barriers. The plastic free ISLA^® cupstock for hot and cold disposable cups gives the alternative to recycle the used cups in a sustainable way with normal paper and board waste.

Moreover, Kotkamills also offers Absorbex®, an innovative laminating paper product for the laminate, plywood and construction industries. And further, the company produces ecological, technically sound and visually attractive wood products for demanding joinery and construction.
