Even if the feeling is part of childhood memories, waxed sweet wrappers are unfortunately not recyclable. Now Schur Flexibles is launching a wax-free and therefore recyclable packaging alternative onto the market.<\/strong><\/p>

Wax paper is a tried and tested packaging material in the confectionery industry. However, in some countries they are not considered recyclable. After extensive development work Schur Flexibles<\/a> now a recyclable solution without wax<\/strong> on the market. How did the company achieve the properties of wax paper without wax?<\/p>

The PaperTwister is not coated with wax as usual. Instead, a special impregnation increases the stability and flexibility of the paper.<\/strong> The inside is coated with a release varnish that prevents the sweets from sticking to the paper without negatively affecting the paper recycling process. The PaperTwister also impresses with excellent machine runability and a packaging speed of up to 1,800 pieces per minute<\/strong>. With this performance, it is in no way inferior to normal wax paper.<\/p>
