ProVantage ready to meet rising demand for sustainable, high performance packaging

Mondi's ProVantage containerboard paper grades range, available in both brown and white, ensures that businesses can meet the growing demand for sustainable packaging without compromising on performance. From fully recycled to 100% fresh fibre, the containerboard papers provide a strong foundation for corrugated packaging and are also well suited for applications like honeycomb structures and fibre drums.

The range meets the packaging needs of applications in e-commerce, fresh fruit and vegetable and heavy duty applications, offering a variety of paper grades that balance strength, sustainability, and printability.

The portfolio includes:

• Appearance grades for premium printability and standout branding.

• Kraft grades for superior strength and protection.

• Recycled grades that deliver a sustainable edge.

• Semi-chem grades for moisture resistance and durability, ideal for long distance transportation.

‘As sustainability expectations rise, businesses need packaging that protects their products while reducing environmental impact,’ said Remy Eecke, senior value chain and sustainability manager at Mondi Containerboard. ‘Our containerboard papers are 100% recyclable and made from 100% sustainably sourced raw materials, giving brands the edge they need in a competitive, eco conscious marketplace.’

Mondi has been at the forefront of papermaking innovation for over 100 years, continually investing in technology to provide reliable solutions. Recent advancements include the papermachine at the Ružomberok mill in Slovakia, which launched the ProVantage SmartKraft White paper grade in 2021. This Kraft Top White grade combines fresh and recycled fibres, offering both strength and printability for brands looking to make an impact.

Once fully ramped up, the machine at Duino will produce 420,000 tonnes of high quality recycled containerboard annually, increasing Mondi's integration and enhancing security of supply for customers.
