About Us
Improving the Planet's Future
Smart Planet Technologies was founded on a simple belief: packaging should protect products without harming the planet. We engineer coatings and films that make this possible.
Our Story
From a Bold Idea to 3 Billion Units
Smart Planet Technologies began with a fundamental challenge: how do you make packaging that performs like plastic but recycles like paper? The answer was EarthCoating — a mineralized resin that uses 51% calcium carbonate to create a coating that repulps like clay in standard paper mills.
That breakthrough led to over 3 billion units sold and opened the door to even more ambitious innovations: HyperBarrier Coating, which delivers 200x oxygen barrier improvement on paper, and HyperBarrier Film, which replaces complex multi-layer plastic structures with a single recyclable material.
Today, our technology is used by some of the world's largest brands and converters. But our mission remains the same: to engineer packaging solutions that protect both products and the planet.
The Problem We Solve
Conventional barrier coatings — like polyethylene, aluminum foil, and metalized layers — make packaging impossible to recycle. They contaminate the paper stream and create multi-material structures that cannot be separated.
The result? Billions of packages end up in landfills every year — not because consumers don't want to recycle, but because the packaging itself was never designed to be recyclable.
We engineered a better way. Our coatings and films deliver the barrier performance brands need while ensuring packaging can re-enter the recycling stream.
What Drives Us
Our Values
Planet First
Every decision we make starts with one question: how does this impact the environment? We engineer solutions that protect both products and the planet.
Science-Driven
Our proprietary coatings and films are the result of years of materials science research. We don't just follow trends — we create breakthroughs.
Proven at Scale
With over 3 billion units sold worldwide, our technology isn't experimental. It's proven, trusted, and deployed by leading brands and converters.
Purpose-Built
Each of our three products is engineered for a specific recycling stream. We don't offer one-size-fits-all solutions — we engineer the right fit.
Let's Build a Better Future Together
Whether you're a brand owner looking for sustainable packaging or a converter seeking innovative coating solutions, we'd love to hear from you.
