We have succeeded to combine two of the most important properties of a compost paper, wet strength and biodegradability. Until now this has been impossible, but we have succeeded due to intensive research. We named the result BioKraft from Nordic paper. This is the first compost paper to meet SP Swedish National Testing and Research Institute’s requirements on biodegradability.
BioKraft from Nordic Paper is very water resistant, and also porous enough to biodegrade quickly. This means that under the right conditions, the paper biodegrades within 112 days, which is faster than any other compost paper on the market (compare with the 400 years it takes for a plastic bag to biodegrade).
BioKraft from Nordic Paper is the only paper that has received the Kappa-marking, which is developed by the SP Swedish National Testing and Research Institute. The Kappa-marking stands mainly for fast biodegradability and better traceability. To receive this marking, the material must biodegrade at least 90% within six months.
