One of the most significant results of this collaboration is the Paper Project, an initiative dedicated to the creation of flexible paper-based packaging.

The Paper Project represents a concrete solution to meet market demands for new solutions, while offering high performance in terms of resistance, conservation and protection of packaged products.

Paper, as a renewable and easily recyclable resource, is considered a promising alternative for the future of sustainable packaging.

The Paper Project stands out for the use of advanced technologies, jointly developed by COIM GROUP and NORDMECCANICA, which allow maintaining the functional properties of the packaging (such as the barrier to humidity and gases) while ensuring its recyclability.

Presentation at the 2025 K Fair

The Paper Project, along with other innovative solutions arising from the partnership, will be officially presented at the 2025 K Fair, one of the world’s most important events for the plastics and rubber industry. This international stage will offer COIM Group and Nordmeccanica the opportunity to showcase the progress made and the sustainable solutions developed to meet the industry’s new challenges. The K Fair will also provide a platform to discuss global trends in sustainable packaging, with a particular focus on technologies that can facilitate the transition toward a circular economy. The presentation of the Paper Project will be a key moment to highlight the potential of this innovation and its applications across various market segments.
