Lamberti is the winner of the Innovative Materials Category with Esacote® BIO BC 100: Unique 100% Natural Coating for Barrier Paper at Avant-Garde 2024
Packaging industry is a major contributor to plastic pollution. Lamberti’s Esacote® BIO BC 100, a 100% biobased coating, extracted from the tomato peels through an innovative patented process in a waterborne dispersion, combines outstanding barrier properties to water, grease and oil and fulfil all the principles of sustainability and circularity.
Nature has inspired Lamberti in the quest of effective barrier materials. Vegetable fruit skins are the most performing means to extend life of all organic matters.
One of the most important examples is the plant cuticle, a protective layer that covers the outer surface of leaves, stems, and other aerial plant organs. It is primarily composed of a substance called cutin, it protects plants against environmental stresses and acts as a barrier against pathogens: it is one of the most abundant biomaterials on the Earth and can be profitably extracted from several fruits and vegetables, in particular from tomato peels.
Lamberti’s Esacote® BIO BC 100 combines functionality and environmental responsibility.
From Nature to performance.
Lamberti’s project has been selected by the jury for the Innovative Materials category and will be exhibited in the Avant-Garde dedicated area at Packaging Première & PCD Milan 2024.
