Focus on circularity

Product development involves several stages, such as market analysis, scientific research, testing, and multiple approvals. The goal is to ensure that, once launched, the product delivers efficiency and safety to both the client and the end consumer. Attentive to society’s demands, Klabin remains committed to prioritizing the creation of sustainable products made from renewable raw materials that are biodegradable and recyclable.

Honeycomb paper

Made from kraftliner (a renewable, recyclable and biodegradable raw material), honeycomb paper is a sustainable alternative to bubble wrap. It has small diagonal cuts all along its length that, when pulled, form lozenges reminiscent of honeycombs. This honeycomb paper structure is similar to padding and helps protect and preserve products during transportation, reducing friction and impacts on packaging.

Wicket Paper Bags

Klabin, in partnership with Optima and Soulpack, has developed a 100% recyclable and repulpable paper for diaper packaging. This sustainable alternative to traditional packaging aligns with growing social demand for renewable and recyclable solutions, and crucially, for products with a reduced environmental impact. Designed to be easily adapted to existing diaper packaging machines on the market, without the need for investment in new equipment, the Wicket Paper Bag allows the packaging process to maintain high performance, quality, and efficiency.

Expansion of portfolio

InBox – a type of packaging that houses a flexible inner bag – has been added to the Klabin portfolio. Made from durable and recyclable material, the box provides stability and protection during the storage and transportation of liquids, as well as allowing for an average 80% reduction in plastics in packaging. It can be used to store food, chemicals, cleaning products, personal hygiene products and fertilizers.

The BagInBox packaging can be used across different segments.

Optimizing the use of raw materials

As well as developing products, Klabin is constantly evaluating its portfolio in order to optimize the use of paper for packaging. Maximizing the use of this raw material benefits the environment by saving natural resources, as well as offering opportunities to improve production costs.

Among other things, the Company is working to reduce the grammage of boxes by making adjustments to their composition, without damaging the quality of the product. One example is changing paper used for packaging to Eukaliner®. The following graph shows the difference between grammage initially ordered and grammage invoiced (in g/m²), considering the use of Eukaliner®. The difference indicates that it was possible to produce boxes with less raw material than initially expected:

At Klabin’s plants in southeastern Brazil (in Betim, Jundiaí Distrito Industrial, Jundiaí Tijuco Preto, Piracicaba I and Suzano), for example, an evaluation of 170 product compositions resulted in the following:

¹ Evaluation carried out from June 2023 to June 2024.
² Projected reduction in one year, if sales remain at the level recorded between June 2023 and June 2024.

Packaging restructuring is something else that is helping save raw materials. By giving the boxes a new design, for example, it is possible to maintain or even increase their strength while reducing grammage. In 2024, in southeastern Brazil, projects of this kind yielded the following results:
