Mondi Launches NAUTILUS Procycle Paper

 

Mondi (Austria) announced earlier this week that it is expanding its portfolio of recycled papers with NAUTILUS® ProCycle, a bright white 100% recycled paper with Blue Angel and EU Ecolabel certification. As a special extra, the NAUTILUS® range offers ColorLok technology for more intense inkjet colors and faster drying ink.

 

"The expanded NAUTILUS® portfolio offers customers a full range of recycled papers and certifications to satisfy everyone’s needs", stated Johannes Klumpp, marketing and sales director, Mondi Uncoated Fine Paper, Europe & International. "Market demand for bright white recycled paper with Blue Angel environmental certification has been rising for some time, and our new NAUTILUS® ProCycle paper meets this customer need. Our customers are our priority – each and every day," added Klumpp.

Blue Angel is one of the oldest, most prestigious environmental certification in Germany. Consumers can have confidence that certified products and services meet high environmental, health, and performance standards. Products and services bearing the Blue Angel label must satisfy criteria that have been developed for each product group.

 

"To satisfy the strict Blue Angel certification standards and our own high quality standards for recycled paper production, we looked for a reliable partner to supply us with recovered paper. After a thorough search, we found a competent partner we could work with over the long term," explained Klumpp. The use of high quality recovered paper allows Mondi to achieve a target whiteness of 140 CIE (ISO 100) with no optical brighteners, thereby satisfying the Blue Angel requirements. "This is an important step in our product development that allows us to meet customer needs as a leading producer offering a complete portfolio of recycled papers under the NAUTILUS® brand", said Klumpp. "The paper provides a pleasing bright white with no tint," he continued.
