Packaging Solutions

Nature Coatings, a biochemical company turning wood waste into black pigments, has announced a strategic partnership with Chapelton to introduce Sustaina Black, an advanced, sustainable black barrier coating for packaging applications.

Sustaina Black, a flagship offering within Chapelton’s new Sustaina range, utilises Nature Coatings’ innovative BioBlack pigment, which provides a non toxic, high performance alternative to petroleum derived carbon black. Unlike traditional black pigments, BioBlack is carbon negative, free from harmful PAHs, and safe for direct food contact.

‘This partnership underscores our commitment to delivering high quality sustainable solutions at scale,’ said Jane Palmer, CEO and founder of Nature Coatings. ‘Chapelton’s extensive market reach positions Sustaina Black to transform the packaging industry by enabling brands to achieve their sustainability and regulatory compliance goals without compromising performance.’

The Sustaina range targets multiple sectors, including food and beverage packaging, luxury goods, retail packaging, consumer packaged goods (CPG), printing, and graphic arts. Sustaina Black specifically addresses growing industry demand for sustainable, safe, and fully recyclable packaging materials.

Managing director Neil Skelton said, ‘We are excited to partner with Nature Coatings and bring Sustaina Black to market. This collaboration meets critical sustainability needs in our sector and provides our customers with innovative packaging solutions that enhance their environmental credentials and appeal to increasingly sustainability conscious consumers.’
