This activity focuses on the testing of a paper-based packaging alternative designed to replace conventional plastic wrap. The aim is to evaluate whether the proposed paper-based material can provide the functional performance required for packaging while offering a more sustainable solution.

The testing examines the material’s suitability for practical use, including aspects such as mechanical performance, handling, flexibility and protective properties. The results support the assessment of its potential to reduce the use of conventional plastic packaging and contribute to more circular and resource-efficient packaging solutions.
