Archroma Packaging Technologies officially partnered with Two Sides North America, strengthening its commitment to promoting sustainable and responsible practices in the paper, print, and packaging sectors. As a global leader in sustainable specialty chemicals and high-performance barrier coatings, Archroma aims to collaborate with industry peers through this membership to help dispel myths about paper-based packaging and highlight its role as a renewable, recyclable alternative to plastics. The partnership supports Two Sides' mission to ensure that accurate information about print and packaging’s environmental impact reaches consumers, businesses, and policymakers.

Archroma’s involvement comes at a time when brand owners and converters are under increasing pressure to reduce their environmental footprint while maintaining performance and cost-effectiveness. The company’s portfolio includes water-based, PFOA- and PFAS-free barrier coatings that enable paper and board packaging to replace single-use plastics in food service and retail applications. “Partnering with Two Sides North America aligns with our vision to support transparency and innovation in sustainable packaging,” said Michael Deroin, Global Head of Packaging and Technical Paper at Archroma.

The collaboration will see Archroma participating in educational campaigns, sharing insights on eco-friendly materials, and contributing to industry conversations about sustainable packaging innovations. Phil Riebel, President of Two Sides North America, welcomed the partnership, noting that Archroma’s expertise will help further promote the environmental value of print and paper-based products.
