The global packaging industry is undergoing a revolutionary shift, moving away from environmentally harmful synthetics toward high-performance, planet-safe materials. Eastern Printing Materials (EPM) is the trusted material supplier, enabling manufacturers in the UAE to produce premium plastic alternatives for packaging by supplying 100% plastic-free coatings, adhesives, and inks.
Our comprehensive product line ensures that every component used, from the barrier coating to the glue, supports the circular economy, a critical framework ensuring that materials sourced from nature are safely returned to nature after use.
EPM provides highly engineered liquid solutions that meet the demanding performance requirements of food service, e-commerce, and industrial sectors. Our products are designed specifically to replace conventional pollutants like polyethylene (PE), wax, and petroleum-based solvents.
1. Advanced Barrier Coatings (Aqua Green Series)
Our Aqua Green barrier coatings are biopolymer dispersions that effectively eliminate the need for traditional plastic films and synthetic waxes. These coatings ensure that paper and paperboard substrates gain protective qualities while remaining fully compostable and recyclable.

Application Benefits
D95 (Heat Sealable)
Ultimate Oil & Grease Resistance (OGR): Achieves the highest performance rating (KIT Value 12) for oil resistance, crucial for QSR packaging.
Heat sealable; capable of withstanding extreme temperatures from boiling hot liquids (up to 140°C) down to deep-freeze conditions (-38°C).
D19 (Microwavable)
High heat resistance, maintaining integrity up to 230°C.
Ideal for microwavable paper plates and containers that require reheating.

These properties are essential for creating viable plastic alternatives for packaging used in demanding food applications, where high moisture and grease contact is standard.
Comprehensive Natural Packaging System
Beyond barrier coatings, EPM provides specialized sustainable materials for packaging in Dubai that address every manufacturing requirement, ensuring total sustainability:
Choosing EPM’s materials is an investment in safety and compliance. All Aqua Green products are rigorously certified:
By adopting these certified plastic alternatives for packaging, manufacturers proactively manage regulatory risks associated with the Extended Producers Responsibility (EPR) requirements for non-recyclable products, choosing materials that either recycle easily or become fertilizer in the environment.
Contact EPM to source the certified materials you need to manufacture the next generation of sustainable packaging.
