Transforming Tomorrow Business Forum: Rethinking Paper Packaging with YES BIO
Explore Starch-Based Barrier Coating Solutions for Sustainable Paper Packaging with YES BIO
As the packaging industry moves toward more sustainable and circular solutions, SMS continues to unlock new possibilities for tapioca starch through innovation.
Under the Transforming Tomorrow Business Forum, “Rethinking Paper Packaging with YES BIO,” an initiative focused on exploring how starch-based barrier coating technologies can provide alternatives to conventional PE-coated paper and support the transition toward more circular paper packaging.
Rethinking Conventional PE-Coated Paper
Plastic and conventional PE coatings have long been used to provide paper packaging with resistance to water, oil, and grease. As sustainability becomes increasingly important across the packaging value chain, manufacturers and brands are looking for new materials that can balance packaging performance, functionality, and environmental responsibility.
The forum explored the potential of modified tapioca starch-based barrier solutions for paper packaging, connecting SMS Corporation’s expertise in starch innovation with YES BIO’s capabilities in sustainable packaging development.
YES BIO’s W-PROOF Series, for example, uses modified tapioca starch coating technology to provide barriers against water, oil, and grease. It is designed for paper packaging applications including cups, bowls, trays, and food wraps
Through innovation partnerships and the continuous development of tapioca starch technologies, SMS is committed to expanding the possibilities of starch and creating solutions that deliver value for businesses, industries, and a more sustainable future.
