Floor Plan

EcoShield® VpCI®-144 is the premium recyclable and repulpable moisture barrier corrosion inhibiting paper in the industry. It is coated with a water-based barrier coating and shows excellent oil and grease resistance. It also contains 69% USDA certified biobased content and is a qualified product under the mandatory federal purchasing initiative of the USDA BioPreferred® Program.* Historically, polyethylene and wax coatings have been used to seal porous paper to provide a moisture barrier and/or moisture-vapor barrier. When coated this way, the resulting paper product is an environmental problem and cannot be recycled through normal channels. EcoShield® VpCI®-144 paper provides a competitive environmentally friendly alternative to polyethylene and wax paper, with comparable water vapor barrier properties. It is fully recyclable/repulpable into other types of paper products such as boxes, cardboard, and other corrugated materials.

In EcoCortec’s recycling centar, most of our films are recycled and reprocessed into a new product. This way we managed to achieve a true “circular economy,” in our manufacturing and disposal processes. EcoCortec® has been part of several EU funded projects that were targeted towards decreasing plastics waste. In 2022, the company has entered with new investments and is building new reprocessing and compounding plants.
