​
Recovered Paper: Paper that has been collected for recycling and can be repurposed for new products.
​
Composite Material: A material made from two or more constituent materials with significantly different physical or chemical properties.
Pulping: The process of breaking down recovered paper into fibers, which can then be formed into new paper products.
​
Lamination: The process of bonding layers of materials together, often used to enhance the strength and barrier properties of containers.
​
Die-cutting: A manufacturing process used to cut out specific shapes from the paper or paperboard.
Coating: Applying a layer on the surface of the paper or board to improve moisture resistance, durability, or printability.
​
Adhesives: Substances used to bond different layers and materials together in the construction of composite cans and tubes.
​
Printing: The application of inks or dyes to the surface of the composite material for branding or information purposes.
​
Winding: The process of wrapping layers of paper around a mandrel to create the tube structure.
​
Sustainability: The practice of using recyclable materials and eco-friendly processes to minimize environmental impact.
​
Recyclability: The ability of the composite can or tube to be recycled after its initial use.
Barrier Properties: Characteristics that protect the contents from moisture, air, or light, vital for maintaining product quality.
