Antalis is offering MetsäBoard Prime FBB EB, a recyclable and compostable barrier board for fresh food packaging.
This lightweight dispersion barrier coated paperboard is a cost-efficient replacement for single-use plastic packaging that can be easily recycled in paper or paperboard waste streams. MetsäBoard Prime FBB EB ticks all the boxes for premium packaging, especially in food and food service end uses, where a medium grease and moisture barrier is needed.
MetsäBoard Prime FBB EB is a bright OBA-free board that is lightweight, strong and has excellent printability. It is made without fluorochemicals and optical brighteners (OBA), making it suitable for direct food contact.

The industrial compostability certification complies with DIN EN 13432 and ASTM D6400 standards, while the home compostability certification complies with NF T 51-800 - all DIN CERTCO certificates. It accelerates the circular economy by making recycling easier whilst eliminating plastic and reducing carbon footprint.
