Environmental pollution caused by improperly treated plastic waste is one of the environmental problems that must be dealt with on a global scale. In particular, the amount of plastic waste discharged as packaging material is 69% of the total amount of plastic waste, therefore it is more important to reduce the amount of plastic used in packaging material to prevent environmental pollution.<br>“Paper,” which is a biomass material that exhibits biodegradability, is attracting attention as a sustainable material that can replace plastic, and new paper packaging materials with excellent plastic functions such as water vapor barrier resistance, oil resistance, water resistance, heat sealability, flexibility, and tear strength are being actively developed. In the field of food wrapping paper, the development of fluorine-free oil-resistant paper is being promoted against the background of stricter restrictions on the use of perfluoroalkyl substances, which may pose a health risk. Therefore, we are developing functional water-based products （AW series） to solve these sustainability issues.<br>In this paper, we introduce AW-500, AW-102, AW-200 from AW series, which are functional water-based coating agents for paper packaging materials that have been developed focusing on the functions of water vapor barrier, heat sealability, and oil resistance. We will also report on the development status of products compatible with Positive List System for Utensils, Containers and Packaging.
