Orange, CA, May 16, 2022 – Charta Global & Strategic Partner Asia Pulp & Paper (APP) Sinar Mas will feature its full suite of sustainable foodservice packaging including its retail-ready plastic free and compostable Foopak Bio Natura line-up of cups and bowls at the National Restaurant Association Show. Also on display will be the lightweight Foopak and Enza grades of paper products, including grease proof food wrappers and take-a-way bags.
Charta Global’s retail-ready cups, bowls and boxes are available in variety of stock sizes and can be customized with branding and size configurations. Developed using APP’s award-winning Bio Natura plastic-free, compostable and curb-side recyclable paperboard, the offering has been designed to meet the high demand for sustainable packaging solutions. Created for hot & cold liquids, Bio Natura uses an innovative nano aqua-dispersion coating technology, replacing harmful petroleum-based and plant-based plastic coatings. The product can be used in microwave and conventional ovens and complies with the European Commission Regulation No. 10/2011 and Regulation 1935/2004. It is FDA-compliant, PFAS free, meets Halal requirements, and is both REACH and BfR certified for direct food contact.
“One of the fastest growing foodservice segments is takeaway, and packaging is critical to keep the food contents fresh and safe, whilst enhancing a foodservice brand’s identity, customer experience and preserve brand loyalty. Therefore, the packaging needs to perform, keep the food hot, and maintain product flavor, texture and quality. At the same time, customers and regulations have placed a high bar on sustainability for packaging, particularly for single-use and plastic-free items at the top of this list of priorities. Charta Global is meeting these requirements with both its compostable and plastic-free Foopak Bio Natura paperboard lines of products along with the Foopak and Enza grades for all flexible and lightweight foodservice packaging” said Anthony Atamimi, Director of Sales, Charta Global.
The company will also showcase its Enza and Foopak lightweight paper brand lines of flexible, PFAS-free paper packaging for bakery, liners, packets, food-wrapping, and bags. The durability of the smooth in-line finishing provides a sustainable alternative to petroleum-based film pouches. Both Enza and Foopak are FDA compliant, and all paper products being featured at the expo are from renewable PEFC-certified fibers.
These products can be seen at booth #9806, Lakeside Hall C, during the National Restaurant Association Show running between May 21-24, at McCormick Place, Chicago.
