Fully biodegradable and recyclable, plastic-free and fluorine-free, packaging thanks to Papkot's paper coatings
Introducing a ceramic coating that provides paper the same packaging properties of plastic, with no plastic.
What is Papkot™?
While in the oceans we have almost more plastic than fish, preserving the environment, protecting our planet, reducing the ecological footprint of packaging is more essential than ever. At Papkot, we are pioneers and explorers on a quest to eradicate plastic from packaging and everyday life.
Human and planet safety comes first
99.99% recyclable
Papkot coated papers have a recyclability rate of 99.9% according to the most advanced European standards.
There will be no coarse reject, flakes, or stickies.
For countries that can afford a waste management system, it's a home run!
Fully biodegradable
Let's keep it simple: paper is a biodegradable material because it's made of a sugar named cellulose. Papkot has no effect on the natural biodegradability of paper: that's why Papkot makes your paper packaging truly biodegradable.
As a result, it can be composted in your backyard.

Fluorine Free
Eliminate forever chemicals from your paper products. We envisioned a future where paper could resist oil and grease without any PFAS, plastics, acrylates, or SBR.
In 2022, it became a reality! Introducing our innovative solution: pure paper with exceptional resistance to grease, oil, and glycerol—crafted without compromising environmental integrity.
Plastic Free
As straightforward as it appears, our product contains absolutely NO plastic.
In a world where we've seen a surge of plastic alternatives made from sources like seaweed, potatoes, lettuce, and milk, Papkot stands out as a genuinely plastic-free solution. Crafted from ceramic materials, Papkot delivers on its promise — no plastic, no deception, no harm to the environment. It's that simple.
Papkot OS
We call it Papkot OS because it works like iOS, or a smartphone: there's an app for any need you have.
Not only can we eliminate plastic from packaging forever, but with Papkot OS we can also eliminate all toxic chemicals: varnishes, release liners, SBR, fluorinated compounds, and so on.
The only limit is your creativity.
Think features, not layers
Papkot OS
Consider a Lego-like chemistry in which we add a different building block for each feature we want to obtain.
This is how Papkot™ works. At the end of our collaboration, you'll have one tailor-made solution that you simply pour into your coating or printing machine to get a paper with the performances you need.
It works on almost any paper
Papkot coatings work effectively on almost any paper. It is compatible with both virgin or recycled fibers.
Our collaboration will always begin with identifying the best support.
Papkot OS can be applied before printing or after printing, on the web or the sheets.

For all your waterproof paper needs
Make paper water resistant to different grades of wet, from rain to immersion over months and years.
The surface of the paper remains unchanged to the eye and touch, but the fibers will become water repellant.
Pure Papkot's ceramic to replace PFAS, PE layers, acrylates or SBR. Whatever you're using to provide grease-resistance is outdated.
No oil absorption COBB 30' <0.1 g/sqm
Engineered to withstand exposure to vegetable oil 🌻, animal fats 🧇, margarine 🍩, and even glycerol 💄, ensuring reliable performance in a variety of applications.
And it is compatible with recycled fibers, supporting sustainability efforts.
Moisture barrier and Oxygen
Coming in 2024!
WVTR: the nirvana of packaging materials
As a naturally porous substance, paper allows the passage of air—a characteristic that poses challenges when it comes to packaging goods that are sensitive to moisture.
At Papkot, we're actively addressing this challenge by enhancing the moisture barrier properties of our paper products. Our innovative approach has already achieved at least a 50% improvement in moisture resistance compared to traditional uncoated paper.
Our commitment to further enhancing these performance characteristics remains a top priority. Join us on this journey, and together, we can accelerate the development of advanced, moisture-resistant paper packaging solutions!
Beyond plastic, we are committed to our mission of replacing toxic chemicals
Many toxic materials are used unconsciously or recklessly in packaging and the printing industry in general. In the coming years, authorities around the world will ban materials like epoxy or SBR (Styrene Butadiene Rubber) from varnishes, and Papkot OS can already replace the majority of them.
Some of these materials are not only (potentially) toxic, but also costly and non-sustainable. Release liners are the pieces of paper left over after you peel off a label to stick it somewhere else. The silicone coating on typical label release liners renders them non-recyclable, non-biodegradable, hence expensive to dispose. It is estimated that nearly 1,200,000 tons of liners are dumped into landfills in North America each year. Papkot manufactures a coating that makes the release liner completely recyclable and biodegradable by using only cellulose and silica.
Fire resistant coatings – Fireseal
Sustainable fire-resistant paper is in high demand in a variety of industries. Papkot made several coatings that can be used online or offline and have different levels of flame retardancy or flame resistance.
Again, we made it using only pure cellulose and silica, nothing else.
