GreenGuard®
Innovation: sustainability and a good barrier in one product
GreenGuard® makes it so you don’t have to sacrifice sustainability for a good barrier.
Greif’s GreenGuard provides a sustainable barrier coating for containerboard packaging applications that offers an eco-friendly alternative to wax (or paraffin-based) coatings and plastic linings, which helps reduce environmental impact for end users.
Greif GreenGuard Rain, 100, and 200 series are specialty coatings for linerboard and paperboard that provide superior resistance for an extensive range of end-use packaging.
GreenGuard® Rain
Superior moisture and water resistance.
GreenGuard® 100
Water, oil, and grease resistance with exceptional release properties for the bakery industry.
GreenGuard® 200

NEW!
GreenGuard® 300 for concrete tubes
GreenGuard® 300 is used as the inside ply on concrete forming tubes. The coating is a 100% recyclable and repulpable aqueous-based coating that has replaced poly. Wet concrete can be poured directly into the forming tube, and once the concrete is cured, the tube can be removed with no paper fibers sticking to the concrete.
