adapa shows how this performance can be combined with sustainability: The new fibre-based PaperTwister(re) with a Papier content of 90 per cent and a plant-based coating has been certified by independent institutes as „repulpable“ in accordance with the new CEPI (4EverGreen) and OPRL (CPI) standards.

Over the years adapa has developed a diverse range of twist packaging solutions in both paper and plastic, including strip lamination for both. Within the paper twist packaging, customers can choose between various versions that are conventionally waxed with paraffin, paraffin-free, palm oil-free, wax-free or designed for recycling are. In addition, a specialised version of the paper twist wrap is available, which is designed for increased mechanical resilience.
With up to 98 per cent paper content and good machine running performance, adapa's range of paper solutions meets most customer expectations in modern confectionery packaging.

This sophisticated technology can be applied to both plastic and paper and gives the product a particularly high-quality look and feel.
