What must it protect?
Oil, grease, liquid water, moisture vapor, heat, scuffing or a combination.
Sustainability
Make the better package work.
Sustainability is meaningful only when the structure protects the product, runs on equipment and has a practical recovery path.
Fiber-forward by design.
Vireo helps packaging teams evaluate water-based coating options that can reduce or replace petroleum wax, conventional polyethylene layers and intentionally added PFAS in appropriate applications.
Claims depend on the complete package, local recovery infrastructure and validated test results. We focus on defining the requirement, selecting the substrate and coating, and documenting performance responsibly.
What we evaluate
Four questions shape the solution.
The right balance differs by package. These are the conversations that keep material decisions grounded in real use.
How will it convert?
Printing, coating, sheeting, folding, forming, sealing and packing requirements.
What can be removed?
Opportunities to reduce plastic, wax, glue or unnecessary material.
What must be validated?
Barrier performance, food-contact requirements, repulpability, recyclability and market claims.
