Biobased barriers

Based on up to 100% natural, renewable, food safe materials, Omya’s Earth range of sustainable products allows customers to decorate, protect and assemble packaging items from one cohesive family.

What is EarthGuard and EarthWrap?

EarthGuard and EarthWrap biobased barriers offer safe alternatives to PE, silicone and fluoro-chemical barriers.

Used by leading brand owners and packaging converters, our barriers can be found in all areas of food and beverage packaging.

They protect against absorption of food and chemical residues and help manage migration. Based on up to 100% natural, renewable, food safe materials, Earth products are all fully sustainable, BfR and FDA compliant, non-GM and allergen-free.

Applied during production on the paper or board quality or in the consecutive conversion process, Earthguard and Earthwrap can be tailored to suit the application via rod, curtain, size press, flexo or rotogravure technologies.

EarthGuard

Earthguard provides an alternative to fluoro-chemicals for paper and board packaging applications, as a functional barrier against the absorption of food and chemical residues.
