EarthBoard
EarthBoard is a premium, bright, white paperboard barrier material that’s engineered for recyclability.
EarthBoard® is an innovative paperboard composite material comprised of a bright, white, mineralized, low density polyethylene surface on recycled, post-consumer and/or non-bleached virgin fiberboards.
EarthBoard is a recyclable paperboard material that delivers a premium print surface comparable to virgin bleached fiberboards along with water, moisture, oil, and grease barrier performance.
Ideal for all types of folding carton applications including cosmetics, electronics, toys, health & beauty and more, EarthBoard may be used in support of your sustainable packaging initiatives without sacrificing on cost, aesthetics or performance.
Packaging made from EarthBoard often qualifies for the “Widely Recycled” How2Recycle* mark. *How2Recycle marks are subject to SPC approval. All inquiries should be directed to info@How2Recycle.org
