Evergreen Packaging has entered into an intellectual property license agreement wit Smart Planet Technologies. Under the agreement, Evergreen Packaging will initially explore the development of cupstock products using EarthCoating® technology, a mineralized barrier coating for paperboard materials. Trial work and pilot testing are scheduled for the third quarter of 2013.
The EarthCoating mineralized resins are high-performance coatings, which contain less plastic than traditional low-density polyethylene coatings. EarthCoating resins are heat-sealable and FDA-compliant for direct food contact.
