Jakarta, 31 July 2018 – Charta Global, exclusive strategic partner to Asia Pulp & Paper (APP), has announced the availability of a new grease proof paper in the North American foopaktm suite of food packaging products. Foopak grease proof paper is formulated with a grease resistant technology system that is impermeable to oil and moisture and can be used for direct food contact and various packaging applications. The chemistry meets all FDA requirements.
The wax free, grease proof paper is ideal for packaging dairy products like butter, margarine and cheese. It can also be used to package pastry goods as well as fast food and takeout items like French fries, sandwiches, burgers, wraps and other bagged items. Compostable and recyclable, the paper is designed to withstand temperatures up to 428 degrees Fahrenheit while providing hygienic protection for food.
“Consumer demand has tasked food providers with finding innovative ways to keep food fresher longer, while also ensuring sustainability,” said Ian Lifshitz, Vice President, Sustainability and Stakeholder Relations, Asia Pulp & Paper. “The foopak grease proof paper is a logical solution for food preparation onsite and for packaging fresh food for takeaway and delivery.”
