Synthetic paper is a material made out of synthetic resin which is made to have properties similar to regular paper.
Synthetic paper is usually made out of either biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) or high-density polyethylene (HDPE).
The applications include paper for labels (thus that can bond with ink) and non-label paper.
[1] To the polypropylene resin can be added calcium carbonate.
[1] The market for synthetic paper includes packaged food and beverage consumption and cosmetics industries.
