Roland Coatings provides Pro-Compostable Coatings engineered for fiber-based food packaging systems. These coatings are designed to support sustainable packaging goals while maintaining strong barrier performance against grease, oil, and moisture. Through CompostCoat™ technology, the coating system also supports improved compostability behavior of finished packaging structures. The result is a functional coating solution that supports both packaging performance during use and end-of-life composting requirements.
Sustainable Packaging Without Performance Trade-Offs
Food packaging demands continue to increase as brands shift away from plastic-based materials. Many options on the market still struggle to balance sustainability with durability.
Roland’s Pro-Compostable Coatings address this gap by delivering barrier protection for paper and fiber packaging without relying on traditional plastic liners. This supports broader adoption of sustainable food packaging strategies across foodservice, retail, and industrial applications.
The coatings are developed to support packaging that performs under real handling conditions while aligning with sustainability objectives.
CompostCoat™ Technology and Compostability Performance
CompostCoat™ technology sits at the center of Roland’s coating system. It is engineered to support fiber-based packaging structures that are intended for composting pathways.
Instead of acting as a permanent barrier layer like conventional coatings, CompostCoat™ is formulated to work within composting environments. It supports breakdown behavior once packaging reaches its end-of-life stage, helping fiber materials transition more effectively through compost systems.
This approach allows brands to move closer to true eco friendly food packaging goals without compromising usability during service life.
Inherent Sustainability in the Coating System
Sustainability is built into the coating design from the start. The system reduces reliance on plastic-based linings commonly used in food packaging applications.
Rather than adding sustainability as a secondary feature, the coating chemistry is structured for fiber compatibility and responsible end-of-life behavior. This supports packaging programs focused on lowering environmental impact while maintaining functional performance standards.
Barrier Performance for Food Applications
Pro-Compostable Coatings are developed to handle common food packaging challenges. They provide resistance to grease, oil, and moisture, helping packaging maintain structural integrity during use.
This makes the coating suitable for applications such as:
- Takeout and delivery containers
- Bakery and dry food packaging
- Frozen and chilled food formats
- Retail food packaging systems
The barrier layer supports clean handling and product protection without introducing plastic-based laminations.
These capabilities position the solution as a practical option for barrier coatings for sustainable food packaging programs that require both strength and compostability alignment.
Application Across Packaging Systems
Roland’s coating systems are designed for use on paper and fiber substrates commonly used in food packaging production.
The coatings integrate into existing converting processes, allowing manufacturers to support sustainability goals without redesigning entire packaging lines. This flexibility supports faster adoption across multiple packaging formats.
Brands can apply the coating system where grease resistance, moisture control, and compostability alignment are required in a single solution.
Compostability Support and End-of-Life Behavior
Packaging performance does not end at use. End-of-life behavior plays a key role in sustainability outcomes.
CompostCoat™ technology is designed to support composting compatibility within fiber-based systems. Once packaging enters composting conditions, the coating structure is intended to allow the material system to break down more effectively compared to conventional plastic-coated alternatives.
This supports stronger alignment with composting infrastructure requirements and broader sustainability targets in packaging programs.
From Plastic Limits to Packaging Freedom
Make your packaging do more than just hold a product. With Pro-Compostable Coatings powered by CompostCoat™ technology, you get barrier performance that works in real conditions—and compostability support that moves your packaging forward at end of life.
