Paper-based protection – with purpose: Mondi’s re/cycle HiProtex Paper
1 June 2025
Mondi and ZARELO have partnered to introduce a recyclable paper-based packaging solution for fire starters used in fireplaces and barbecues.
Made from Mondi’s re/cycle FunctionalBarrier Paper 95/5, the new packaging provides strength and durability while protecting the fire starters from moisture during storage and transport.
Mondi’s re/cycle FunctionalBarrier Paper 95/5 is produced entirely in-house, made from FSC and PEFC certified paper. As part of Mondi’s re/cycle portfolio it is recyclable in existing European paper recycling streams where facilities are in place. ZARELO’s fire starter range includes coiled wood fibres and newly introduced compact cubes, packed in three sizes: 32 pieces, 1 kg, and 2 kg. The packaging ensures puncture resistance and durability, protecting the products throughout transport and handling. Its high-quality printability enhances ZARELO’s brand visibility at the point of sale, strengthening its presence in retail chains.
“Fire starters require packaging that keeps them dry and intact while ensuring ease of handling and storage. This solution combines strong barrier properties with excellent printability, offering both product protection and a premium retail presence—all while supporting circularity”, said Francesco Fardella, Business Solution Manager for Functional Paper & Films at Mondi
