Paper instead of plastic

Sustainable Paper Solutions

Our Team

To drive forward the idea of “paper instead of plastic” the Business Development Team “Sustainable Paper Solutions” was formed as of April 1st 2019 under the direction of Christian von Buchwaldt and Dr. Imke Cravillon. The team is supported by Angela Rüße (sales, heat sealable papers), Melanie Rausch (internal sales, order processing) and Sarah Gebhardt (marketing).

A main focus is currently placed on barrier papers for the food sector. It is our aim to develop individual solutions together with food manufacturers, packagers, converters and recyclers – because we believe that a quick and expedient development is only possible by a close interconnection of all involved parties!
