Since its inception in 2020, BTP Eco Products has revolutionized the disposable packaging industry by prioritizing flexibility, quality, and exceptional customer service.
Leading Innovation in Eco-Friendly Coatings: Aqueous vs. Traditional Plastics
The convenience of takeaway beverages is beloved, yet it comes with a steep environmental cost: every minute, 5000 coffee cups are discarded, mostly ending up in landfills. The predominant use of plastic coatings, such as polyethylene (PE) and polylactic acid (PLA), exacerbates the single-use plastic crisis.

The Pitfalls of PLA Coatings: A Misleading "Eco-Friendly" Choice
PLA, touted as biodegradable, requires specialized industrial composting conditions, limiting its practicality and contributing to environmental misinformation.
Aqueous Coating – The True Environmental Champion
BTP offers compostable cups with aqueous coatings, a genuine eco-friendly alternative. Derived from natural sources, these coatings break down naturally and are highly recyclable without needing specialized facilities.
Water-Based Barrier Coating (WBBC): Revolutionizing Packaging Sustainability
WBBC stands out as a plastic-free, biodegradable, and compostable solution for enhancing paper's resistance to water, grease, and maintaining structural integrity. Its formulation includes water, fillers, additives, and binders, optimized for superior performance and environmental sustainability.
WBBC vs. PE Coatings: Advantages in Recyclability and Environmental Impact
PE-coated paper presents challenges in recycling due to its separation complexity, whereas WBBC can be recycled alongside other paper products globally, reducing environmental footprint significantly.
Water: The Key Ingredient in WBBC
Water plays a crucial role in WBBC formulations, facilitating its application and ensuring uniformity while enhancing hydrophobic and barrier properties against oxygen, aromas, and moisture.
The Application of Water-Based Barrier Coating Paper
WBBC finds extensive use in the food industry, preserving taste and aroma while meeting FDA standards for food contact. Its versatility spans a wide range of applications from disposable cups to food containers, ensuring high performance in oil and grease resistance.
These insights underscore BTP Eco Products' commitment to driving sustainable solutions in the packaging industry through innovative, environmentally friendly coatings.
