Koehler Paper has added another product to its flexible packaging paper portfolio, with an emphasis on the fast-food market. This new launch is designed to meet growing consumer demand for sustainable products and packaging, which has been evident in the fast-food sector for some time now.
Back in October, Koehler launched Koehler NexPure Wrap, a paper designed for burger packaging with extremely low grammage, onto the fast-food market. Now, with Koehler NexPure OGR, the company is bringing an oil- and grease-resistant, sustainable paper onto the market, which will be suitable for packaging foods such as fries, sandwiches, wraps, and burritos.
With the launch of Koehler NexPure OGR, Koehler Paper is adding another sustainable solution to its portfolio for the fast-food market. The product is entirely free from fluorochemicals and is therefore a sustainable, environmentally-friendly alternative to the packaging paper currently used in the fast-food sector, the company says. The new paper has a grammage of 38 gsm and uses natural raw materials for the barrier function.
Christoph Wachter, director of the flexible packaging paper division at Koehler Paper, says, “With this new development, we have produced sustainable fast-food packaging that is entirely free from fluorinated chemical coatings while offering the same properties as those that do. This ensures that the paper is fully recyclable.”
The product exclusively uses pulp from certified sustainable forestry and controlled sources as its fiber material. "The unique arrangement of the paper fibers also enables us to achieve a high whiteness and excellent printability,” adds Wachter.
