  • Reduction in raw materials used: Rigidity allow us to use of the lowest grammages in complete safety 
  • Recycled and 100% biodegradable materials: smallest recycled jeans fibres are mixed with recycled cardboard fibres 
  • Mono-material, easy to disassemble and reusable as a storage box 
  • Unique manufacturing process 
  • The product is manufactured with a zero waste objective: 
ESKA starts with producing pulp by mixing 100% recycled paper with water. The plastics sorted from the recycled paper are converted into energy which is used in the manufacturing process.  The Jeans fibres provided by a Dutch partner are mixed with the produced pulp to form ESKA JEANS board. Then a (Jeans) paper is laminated on both sides, using waterbased adhesives. 
  • Result is a reduction of consumption of natural gas by > 20% 
  • Using of 1 to 5m3 of water per ton of board whereas EU legislation permits 11 m3 
  • 95,000 liters of diesel for transportation saved annually 
  • Shipments converted from road to rail or badge: 30.000 tons in last 20 years
