Chennai | 2nd September 2021 | The Pulp and Paper Times:

Based on packaging form, the corrugated segment is projected to dominate the Kraft paper market, in terms of value and volume, from 2019 to 2025. Corrugated boxes not only offer protection to shipped goods from damages but also offer easy handling features. The reusable and recyclable nature of corrugated boxes reduces packaging waste. This has resulted in an increased demand for corrugated boxes in various industries such as food & beverages, building & construction, clothing, freight forwarding, logistics, cosmetics & personal care, and pharmaceuticals

“The growing environmental concerns to use recyclable and degradable packages have led to a rise in the demand for Kraft papers. Kraft papers have a rising trend of manufacturing it through natural recycling which has though lesser strength than virgin natural craft paper, but it is more eco-friendly and still has enough strength to fill void applications. The growing packaging industry and paper industry is largely driving the growth of the global kraft paper market,” Said Mr. N.K. Desai, Managing Director, NKR Engineers who have supplied the plant and machinery to the new paper mill.

Kraft paper is a paper or paperboard that has a more high strength and high tear resistance. It is largely used in the packaging industry and is made from wood pulp or recycling materials and adding chemicals to increase its fiber’s strength, thickness, and durability while maintaining the light-weighted property. The growing environmental concerns to use recyclable and degradable packages have led to a rise in the demand for Kraft papers
