About GREENCOAT® Wax-Replacement Boxes

GREENCOAT® is a compostable, FBA-certified 100% recyclable and repulpable packaging solution for transporting products that require durable moisture-resistant corrugated packaging.

The sustainable corrugated packaging provides the same strength of traditional cascaded wax boxes and curtain coated wax boxes. They are also easier to glue than waxed boxes.

GREENCOAT® durable wax-free boxes withstand high exposure to moisture, rough handling, long storage and transportation, and shifts from cold-to-hot environmental conditions.

Interstate Container does not outsource the coating of paper to third parties. The packaging manufacturer controls 100% of GREENCOAT®’s manufacturing process, increasing cost effectiveness. Furthermore, GREENCOAT® wax-free packaging eliminates landfill disposal fees.

Interstate Container Cambridge invested 5 years of R&D to develop GREENCOAT® and successfully trial wax-free corrugated boxes with leading Delaware-based poultry processor, Mountaire Farms.
