As part of ongoing product development activities, a new dilution headbox installed on the BM3 machine in June 2014, can deliver the required paperboard thickness by using up to 10% less substance depending on grade. With the new bulk improvements, customers can be confident that PankaMax, PankaDisc and PankaSeal products will retain the same high standards and quality characteristics, while further reducing the ecological footprint. This means that Pankaboard customers will get even more square meters per ordered ton for these products, a real cost-saving. The BM3 machine produces a wide range of high quality uncoated paperboards suitable for a variety of end-uses. - PankaMax is used in various laminates for food and display applications - PankaDisc is used for coasters and food underlay's - PankaSeal is used for cap seal applications All products are made of 100% natural virgin fibres, certified by ISEGA for direct food contact and available from a mill with PEFC & FSC certified chain of custody accreditation. PANKAPLEX ACHIEVES CERTIFICATE FOR COMPOSTABILITY PankaPlex, which is designed and widely used in food service applications, has now been granted the demanding compostability certificate for the substances between 190 and 240 gsm. The tests were conducted and successfully approved by the third party ISEGA Laboratory according to the European norm EN 13432 ("Packaging, Requirements for Packaging recoverable through composting and biodegradation"). The norm defines the test program, conditions and the assessment criteria, which the compostable packaging has to meet. The test results prove that the specific PankaPlex products disintegrate and biodegrade in the defined and strict time limit. In addition, the material fulfills all the requirements in terms of chemical composition, including low level of heavy metals, to avoid any harm for the environment. Hence, there is no negative impact on the quality of the final compost and the product can safely be recycled through composting.
