The food packaging sector is one of the fastest growing segments within the paperboard market, expected to reach 505.27 billion within 2024, according to Fortune Business Insights. At the same time, governments and consumers are demanding new sustainable packaging solutions. This dynamic is causing the quick-service restaurant (QSR) segment to rethink their packaging, seeking solutions that not only perform but also deliver high sustainability standards. APP’s Foopak Bio Natura has emerged as that total solution. APP’s flagship innovation brand, Foopak, is a line of paperboard products designed for hot and cold beverages, take-away boxes, bowls, trays, and frozen-food packaging that promises to transform the QSR industry with its compostable, recyclable, plastic-free, and PFAS-free food paperboard packaging.
Foopak Bio Natura is not just another eco-friendly packaging option; it is a revolutionary product born from a commitment to sustainable innovation. Utilising a proprietary water-based barrier, it serves as a sustainable and environmentally responsible alternative to traditional polyethylene (petroleum) -based moisture coatings. With its non-plastic nature, it can be composted both at home and industrially, reducing its environmental impact. Moreover, the paperboard seamlessly transitions from the fridge or freezer to the microwave or oven, offering unparalleled convenience without compromising sustainability.
Foopak Bio Natura is certified PFAS-free and plastic-free, making it curbside recyclable. Additionally, it meets the stringent standards of the FDA for direct food contact and holds REACH and BfR certifications, highlighting the product’s safety and suitability for a wide range of food service applications.
The Foopak suite represents a diverse range of solutions tailored to meet the varying needs of the food service industry. From sustainable lids and beer cups to the innovative Anchor Bio for thermoform trays and frozen meals, Foopak is poised to address the multifaceted demands of the market. As consumer preferences shift towards sustainable products, Foopak is ready to lead the charge, providing eco-friendly alternatives that do not compromise on performance.

Through innovative product development, companies like APP can help play a pivotal role in promoting environmental responsibility.
