Billerud Launches Recyclable, Heat-Sealable Paper Packaging Material; ConFlex HeatSeal

Billerud's ConFlex HeatSeal is a heat-sealable paper designed to replace plastic without requiring new converting machines. It's also fully recyclable within existing paper recycling systems.

March 17, 2025 - Billerud has launched ConFlex® HeatSeal — a recyclable, heat-sealable paper packaging material to replace plastic in packaging applications with high demands for sealing performance and recyclability.

According to Billerud, ConFlex HeatSeal has been successfully introduced in the bedding segment by a major Swedish furniture brand, but its potential extends far beyond into further applications in industrial and hygiene packaging.

"With ConFlex HeatSeal, we offer a commercially viable, heat-sealable paper that supports businesses to transition away from plastic," said Robert Torstensson, Vice President Business Area Paper, Billerud. "It delivers strong sealing performance and recyclability within existing paper recovery systems and works within slightly modified converting processes where Billerud provides transition support."

With a lower carbon footprint ConFlex offers a high-performance alternative for companies looking to replace plastic packaging while using their current machinery and maintaining efficiency, Billerud added.

Billerud is a manufacturer of paper and packaging materials serving customers in more than 100 countries with renewable and recyclable products made from fibers sourced from responsibly managed forests.
