SurfAce Cleantech makes compostable packaging more competitive by enhancing its strength through a patented coating. Our water-based, UV-curable coating is applied during the flexographic printing process and allows packaging producers to reduce film thickness by 30% while maintaining mechanical performance and full compostability. This translates to over 15% cost savings and easier adoption of sustainable alternatives. SurfAce integrates seamlessly into existing manufacturing lines, is compatible with all flexible bioplastics, and is backed by EPFL research and Innosuisse support. With strong traction through key industrial partners, SurfAce is set to scale across Europe and globally through direct sales and licensing to major ink and coating suppliers.
