    Barrikote™ C and GR: Imerys Pioneer solutions

    Their superior barrier performance makes Barrikote Systems excellent environment-friendly alternatives to PFAS and PE extrusion based products. Packaging produced with Barrikote coatings is repulpable and recyclable in existing waste streams. Industrial compostability (EN13432) can also be achieved.

    Barrikote Systems are popular solutions for manufacturers looking to increase the sustainability of their own portfolios and offerings. Strongly aligned with increasingly stringent regulations regarding single-use plastics, Barrikote makes it possible to recycle many more paper cups and carton packaging units by replacing conventional plastics layers with a mineral barrier.

    Barrikote C & GR are Imerys Pioneer products. This means they have received our highest sustainability rating for products and services which denotes outstanding sustainability performance compared to the reference on the market. Pioneer certified products provide the highest social and environmental contribution to the downstream value chain, while demonstrating a low environmental impact in their production phase.
