We designed HyperBarrier™ Paper for one reason: to make recyclable barrier packaging simpler. For a long time, replacing plastic in flexible packaging meant choosing between performance and recyclability. Many paper-based options still rely on expensive barrier layers like EVOH, nylon, or foil — which do the job, but make recycling complicated. HyperBarrier™ Paper takes a different approach. HyperBarrier™ Paper delivers a cost-effective, scalable solution with superior barrier performance that reduces the need for multiple plastic layers. • Recyclable as paper • 200x oxygen barrier performance of PE • 7x moisture barrier performance of PE • Kit 12 oil barrier • No PFAS, no metallisation, no nylon, no EVOH It's a single-layer coated paper, available in forestry, agro-waste, or kraft options—ideal for flexible paper and paperboard packaging. And it’s designed to run on your existing lines — no special machinery or storage conditions. If you’re reviewing packaging options and looking for something practical, we’re here to help. 📩 sales@copar.eco | angela.jones@copar.eco #HyperBarrierPaper #RecyclablePackaging #FlexiblePackaging #BarrierPaper #SustainablePackaging #COPAR

Understanding composting is just as important as using compostable packaging. That’s why COPAR Smart Packaging and Sustainability for Kids have developed the book, "The World Behind Composting"—a resource designed to make composting clear, practical, and actionable. This initiative provides businesses and consumers with the knowledge needed to properly dispose of compostable packaging—ensuring it delivers real sustainability benefits. Why it matters: 🌱 Compostable packaging adoption is growing, but effective disposal is key to reducing landfill waste. 📚 Education enables better composting habits, helping businesses and consumers contribute to a circular economy. At COPAR, we don’t just manufacture certified compostable wheat straw packaging—we provide the resources to help businesses and consumers dispose of it correctly. Composting starts with the right packaging. See how COPAR’s certified compostable, Australian-made solutions support a circular economy. 📩 sales@copar.eco #SustainablePackaging #CompostablePackaging #CircularEconomy #COPAR #TheWorldBehindComposting #WheatStrawPackaging #FutureOfPackaging #ResponsibleDisposal
