The Problem

Issues at hand

Single-use plastic containers pollute the environment. Their use will continue to harm sea life, impair food safety, contaminate water supplies, impact coastal tourism, and contribute to climate change. While recycling can help reduce the global burden, only a small percentage of waste is recycled, and plastic is still being made, used, disposed of and discarded at alarming levels, leaving microplastics to contaminate humans, animals, and the environment. Increasingly nations have been banning the use of plastics in all forms, and major global corporations are taking immediate action to find and use alternative products and materials in their product offerings.

Coated Paper Crisis

Polyethylene (LDPE) is a common plastic material for coating everyday items like paper cups, plates, food containers, and various paper packaging. Although it serves a purpose by acting as a barrier to liquids, grease, and moisture, it's also environmentally harmful. Unfortunately, products coated with polyethylene are neither biodegradable nor easily recyclable.

It's worth noting that many of these items are marketed with labels such as "made from 100% recycled paper," which can be misleading because such coated products are not economically viable for recycling.

LDPE coated products are typically coated during the manufacturing process, and while it has its merits, it poses significant challenges to our environment. We need to be more mindful of the materials we use and their impact on our planet.

Did you know...the recycle symbol doesn't mean it can be recycled by your waste processor?

One of the primary reasons why so much plastic packaging ends up in incinerators, landfills, and our oceans is simply because it's not designed with recycling in mind.

While some plastic-coated paper can be separated for recycling, the process is often expensive and complex, making it impractical in many cases. Moreover, paper coated with plastic cannot be composted. As a result, most of these products end up being incinerated or sent to landfills, rather than finding a second life through recycling.

For example, think about your typical "paper" coffee cups and plates – they often contain a thin plastic layer (polyethylene) to prevent leaks. Unfortunately, this means that those beloved takeaway coffee cups are not biodegradable or recyclable. We simply need more eco-friendly alternatives to reduce our environmental footprint.

Non-Recyclabes

Every year, a whopping 1 trillion cups, boxes, and containers that can't be recycled and harm our environment find their way into landfills. To put it into perspective, the number of K-cups alone currently in landfills could encircle our planet 10 times! It is even more surprising that the energy needed to produce these disposable products could power 53,000 homes for an entire year!

Environmental experts tell us that only around 9% of plastic waste generated in the U.S. is recycled, with the majority ending up in landfills, oceans, and incinerators – all of which contribute to the greenhouse effect.

It is important to note that open-air landfills surround many major urban areas. By 2030, an estimated 70% of the world's population will call urban areas home. We must remember that our actions today have a significant impact on the future of our planet.

The Solution

Sustainable future with JJGP coated product

J & J Green Paper has developed the JANUS technology, a breakthrough compound and process used for the manufacture of water-resistant paper and paper packaging without the use of toxic petroleum-based polymer products. JANUS is sustainable alternative for production of paper products that are all-natural, biodegradable, backyard compostable, and fully recyclable with a high repulpability rate. JANUS creates a green paper that is safer, more profitable, recoverable and superior to current paper coating technology.

Learn how J & J Green Paper is making an impact around the world with our inovated eco-friendly coating solution.

Sustainable Solution

J & J Green Paper's unique compound is organic, bio-degradable, compostable, and 100% recyclable.

It can eliminate and replace the traditional coating used for food & beverage packaging, including all single and double-sided containers for hot and/or cold products during shipment to the end consumer. The raw material needed for its production is readily available worldwide and the process uses the same technology as the current polyethylene. Therefore, there is a seamless production process transfer with minimal supply chain disruption or friction.

J & J Green Paper

J & J Green Paper is at the forefront of an affordable coating process for the food & beverage industry.

While J & J Green Paper has focused initially on drinking cup problems, they have also addressed other environmental challenges revolving around paper, straws, ‘Styrofoam’ and even a laminate organic K-cup that is recyclable and bio-degradable. With your help, we can make it happen together. We rolled out in 2021. Look for our symbol anywhere that take-out food and beverages are ordered or produced. Let’s restore, through preservation, the cosmic balance and order of our planet’s nature.
