Kraft paper is one of the most significant innovations in the paper industry, combining exceptional strength with environmentally friendly properties. Developed in 1879 by German chemist Carl F. Dahl, its name derives from the German word “Kraft”, meaning “strength” – a characteristic that sets this extraordinary material apart.

Cartiera del Chiese produces kraft paper using an innovative and sustainable approach, with high-quality waste paper as its raw material. This advanced recycling process transforms post-consumer paper materials (through cleaning and fibre regeneration stages) into valuable raw materials for kraft paper production, demonstrating how the circular economy can produce excellent results without compromising on quality.

Today, kraft paper is used in numerous sectors: from industrial packaging to cement bags, from the production of eco-friendly bags to food packaging and e-commerce mailers. Its versatility makes it ideal for applications requiring mechanical strength, such as the transport of heavy materials, and in the food sector, certified variants guarantee safety and hygiene.
Kraft paper is an eco-friendly solution in the era of green transition. Fully recyclable and biodegradable, it offers a sustainable alternative to plastic. Its use contributes significantly to reducing the environmental impact of packaging, aligning perfectly with European circular economy policies.

Cartiera del Chiese continues to invest in the production of kraft paper from recycled materials, combining traditional craftsmanship and advanced technologies to offer cutting-edge solutions that demonstrate how the circular economy can generate superior quality products while respecting the environment and meeting the most demanding requirements of the modern market.
