The green future of the packaging industry / How Liquid Glass marches into battle against plastic waste (FOTO)

Schwalbach/Germany (ots) - The packaging industry is currently facing one of the
biggest challenges in its own history. While new packaging policies initiate
active steps against the massive pollution of the environment, the existence of
innumerable companies is threatened by the mandated abandonment of plastic as a
material for disposable packaging. Alternative solutions must meet demands on
both hygiene and environmental compatibility and still be financially
realizable. The sustainable np-Liquid Glass technology promises a real
breakthrough.

An environmentally friendly alternative that even made it into space

The perfect solution to the worldwide problem with plastic packaging would be a
natural product that is free of toxic substances, 100% degradable and able to
coat paper, cardboard, or wood-packaging with a layer that protects the material
against liquids, smells, or gases.

This is where the unique np-Liquid Glass technology made by the German company
nanopool comes into play: The coating is based on silicon dioxide and has
already proven its applicability in many sectors such as the food industry,
health care and even in aeronautics. Nearly all surfaces can be coated with an
ultrathin layer as a long-term protection against humidity, dirt, corrosion, and
other influences, without changing the visual appearance, hand-feel, or smell of
the refined material. Even bacteria cannot adhere anymore. The food safety of
this technology has already been confirmed by accredited institutes.

This makes the solution applicable for all utilization within the packaging
industry. Whether it's for egg cartons, paper straws, or fast food-boxes, the
np-Liquid Glass technology stabilizes and provides hydrophobic and oleophobic
features to packaging of any kind.

Industry or private label: Becoming a team of green heroes

The method has already been honoured with several environmental and innovation
awards such as the well sought-after Frost & Sullivan "Best Practice Award", the
"Green Hero", and the science award "land of ideas" ("Land der Ideen"). For the
latter, the application "Liquid Glass against hospital germs" has even been
designated national winner in the category "science".

The fact that germs can no longer adhere to a surface which has been coated with
np-Liquid Glass is of major importance in the current battle against plastic
waste. It turns simple paper and cardboard packaging into save and hygienic
alternatives and thus has the power to lead the packaging industry onto new ways
away from a crisis.

With a wide spread of this gentle, yet highly effective technology the company
nanopool wants to contribute to finding solutions in the global waste- and
environmental crisis.

While many companies are now busy green-washing their products and trying to hop
on the current "eco-train", the eco-friendly approach has been at the core of
nanopool right from its beginning. Now it is time to pass on the green heart.

No matter if it is for industry customers, end consumers, or retailers who seek
a private label - the np-Liquid Glass technology offers custom-made solutions
for anyone. "Growing to become one team of green heroes", is the motto.
