Paper Converting and Packaging
Led by Professor Jouni Paltakari, the teaching and research group for paper converting and packaging technology focuses on unit operations and technologies for adding value for fibre based substrates in converting processes and packaging applications.
Pigment coating solutions and new material combinations consisting e.g. nanocellulose as a renewable biomaterial are of great interest in our research and education. In addition, functional and intelligent solutions and products are also covered in our operation.
