Arjowiggins has introduced a paper packaging for butter named Sylvicta. The company claims it uses only renewable raw materials for manufacturing, so it is a sustainable alternative to current butter packaging.

What are the characteristics?

  • compostable;
  • 100% recyclable;
  • naturally translucent;
  • aesthetic appeal;
  • grease resistant;

What advantages butter manufacturers receive?

Besides sustainability, the new packaging can increase the shelf-life of the packaged product, as it is the perfect barrier to oxygen and aroma. Also, it is approved for direct contact with food thanks to the clean raw materials. Moreover, thanks to its superior grease resistance and aesthetic appeal it can perfectly substitute plastic packaging. Finally, It can also be combined with any type of coating (even ultra-thin aluminum coatings).

How big is the market?

According to Statista, the market produces over 9,900,000 tons of butter per single year. The biggest global producers are India, EU countries, and the US. Meanwhile, it is worth nearly $58170 million and is projected to grow up to $71720 million by 2028.
