Responsible and Sustainably Sourced Food Paper Packaging
1.Reduce, Reuse, Recycle make “reduce, reuse, recycle” your mantra. Keeping the waste hierarchy in mind guides every decision when making packaging more environmentally friendly. Ask clear, honest questions at each stage. What happens to the packaging once its first use ends? How does choosing a particular material increase or reduce your reliance on non-sustainable options? Can the packaging be recycled—and recycled in the product’s destination market? Can your business reuse it internally, and can the end consumer reuse it at home? And if it is not recycled, will it safely biodegrade?
2. Versatility
Many people overlook paper packaging when considering materials that perform across a range of temperatures and conditions. If you picture only soggy brown paper bags, think again. Food Paper designs and manufactures sustainable packaging with real strength. These paper-based products withstand extreme temperatures, deliver lasting durability, and cut the need for oils and fats—helping your products stay fresher for longer.
3. Sustainable
Just because its paper does not mean it is sustainable. Check the sources used by the manufacturer. Responsible manufacturers will always ensure that their paper packaging is procured from sustainable sources, such as managed forestry resources that have been certified and are operated responsibly. Food Paper manufacture all our products from natural cellulose fibres, vegetable, plant materials or virgin pulp, sourced from sustainable forestry resources and our products are certified accordingly.
4. Strong
Transportation, warehousing, packing, and at-home storage all put pressure on product packaging. Many people assume only plastic can guarantee damage-free products and preserve appearance. However, a smarter, eco-conscious alternative stands out. Food Paper combines corrugated board with coated paper liners to create a plastic-free solution that delivers strength, versatility, cost efficiency, and—in most combinations—100% recyclability.
5. Food-Friendly
Consumers have spoken, and clearly, they are tired of excessive plastic packaging around food. For example, from individually wrapped oranges to layers of plastic around ready meals, plus the bag you carry them in and the fork you eat with, the message is unmistakable: it’s time for change. In contrast, paper packaging provides the answer. Specifically, Food Paper designs products for direct food contact, and therefore keeps everything hygienic. Furthermore, you’ll discover eco-friendly, visually appealing options for bakery, deli, butchery, and cheese counters. Finally, when it comes to confectionery, our paper packaging ensures you really can have your cake and eat it.
