Michelman, a global leader in water-based coating technologies, has publicly celebrated RecyLoop’s recent innovation award for HydroLoop, the fully recyclable water-based dispersion coating designed for next-generation paper cups. In its official announcement, Michelman highlights that this achievement was made possible through the close technical collaboration between both companies, combining Michelman’s coating expertise with RecyLoop’s manufacturing capabilities and market-driven sustainability vision.

HydroLoop — engineered as a PFAS-free, repulpable and heat-sealable barrier system — represents a major step forward in replacing traditional PE-based cup coatings. Michelman’s post recognises the coating’s performance on commercial paper-cup forming lines, its compatibility with fibre-recovery processes, and its ability to support global brands seeking recyclable packaging solutions without operational trade-offs.

In its message, Michelman emphasises the strength of the partnership: RecyLoop’s agility and production know-how, paired with Michelman’s advanced coating chemistry, enabled the rapid commercialisation of HydroLoop and its adoption in European and international markets. The company also noted that this award is not only a milestone for RecyLoop, but a shared accomplishment that reflects the impact of collaborative innovation across the global packaging value chain.

With this recognition, RecyLoop and Michelman reaffirm their commitment to advancing fibre-based sustainability, accelerating the industry’s transition toward plastic-free, commercially viable, and fully recyclable cup technologies.
