More Trainings

Introduction to compliance work and quality assurance for paper and board in contact with food (FCM)
Food comes into contact with many materials before its eventual consumption. These so called Food Contact Materials (FCMs) should be sufficiently inert so that their constituents neither adversely affect consumer health nor influence the quality of the food.
Surface functionalization of paper & board packaging
Paper based packaging materials for food and consumer goods are highly demanded by end customers as well as by distributing companies. In many cases one or multiple coating layers enable the packaging to protect e.g. food via barrier functionalities.
Recyclability of paper & board based packaging
The workshop gives the opportunity to get a closer look at different main aspects of recycling and recovered paper, listed below.
