Across the globe, consumer demand for sustainable packaging has never been stronger — and in the GCC, that momentum is accelerating. Governments, brands, and consumers are all aligning toward one goal: reducing plastic waste and embracing circular, renewable materials. At Simply Paperboard, we’re proud to be leading that change by introducing Delipac’s certified plastic-free, compostable, and recyclable paperboard to the GCC market.
What Makes Delipac
Different Delipac isn’t just another paperboard with a “green” label. It’s a fully engineered barrier board, designed to perform like plastic — without the plastic. It resists grease, moisture, and temperature variations while remaining 100% recyclable, home compostable, and biodegradable.
Unlike traditional PE or PLA-coated boards that require industrial recycling or separation processes, Delipac can be recycled directly with normal paper waste streams. It’s also certified plastic-free by Flustix, PFAS-free, and compliant with the EU Single-Use Plastics Directive — giving brands and consumers complete confidence in its environmental integrity.
Certified to Global Standards
Delipac’s environmental and food safety credentials are independently verified by leading international testing bodies. The material holds certifications across key sustainability categories:
Home & Industrial Compostable – EN 13432 (Europe) and AS 4736/5810 (Australia/New Zealand)
Recyclable – EN 13430 (98% fibre recovery)
Plastic-Free – Flustix FPP009
PFAS-Free – Verified by RAMAN & GC-MS Analysis
Food Contact Safe – EU 1935/2004 and FDA 21 CFR 176.170 compliant
Carbon Balanced – Through the World Land Trust
Sustainably Sourced – PEFC Chain of Custody certified
Each accreditation reflects Delipac’s position as one of the most tested and trusted paperboards in the world, meeting or exceeding EU, US, and GCC regulatory standards.
Why the GCC Market Matters
The GCC region is at a critical turning point in packaging sustainability. With upcoming Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) frameworks and growing restrictions on single-use plastics, businesses are seeking credible, compliant, and scalable alternatives. Delipac offers exactly that — a proven solution already in commercial use across Europe and the UK. By producing and converting this material locally through Simply Paperboard, we can help regional brands reduce carbon emissions, cut import dependency, and support national sustainability goals.
Local Production, Global Standards
Simply Paperboard’s partnership with Delipac brings European innovation to GCC manufacturing. Our production aligns with ISO 22000, 9001, and 14001 standards, ensuring consistent quality, safety, and environmental performance. Whether for cups, food trays, or folding cartons, Delipac’s versatile barrier properties make it ideal for both hot and cold applications. And because it’s recyclable as paper, end-users can easily dispose of packaging through existing-a major step toward a circular economy in the region.
Leading the Transition to a Plastic-Free Future
By introducing Delipac to the GCC, Simply Paperboard is helping foodservice, hospitality, and retail brands take measurable steps toward sustainability — not through marketing claims, but through certified, science-backed materials. Together, we’re proving that performance and responsibility can coexist — and that the future of packaging in the GCC can be both eco-friendly and commercially viable.
