Green Trays becomes the latest company to select
APP’s Foopak Greaseproof Board for Quick Service and Take Away
Indonesia, 18th November 2020 – In an effort to meet new government mandates to eliminate plastics, Green Trays, one of Mexico’s producers of take-a-way containers and food service trays for the restaurant and hospitality sector has selected APP’s Foopak Greaseproof board for its new line of sustainable, recyclable and compostable packaging.

Additionally, the product supports both fridge and microwavable packaging adding more convenience for the food service sector.
APP’s Foopak Greaseproof is one of a dozen FDA food service folding box board (FBB) products in the Foopak portfolio. Manufactured with PEFC certified pulp, the high bulk, high yield lightweight boards clay coated exterior is a bright white shade suitable for intricate graphics and branding. The interior barrier coating prevents oil penetration from low to high grease and oily food, while maintaining the quality and texture of the food when prepared fresh, refrigerated, or heated in a microwave. Available in a wide range of GSMs, Foopak Greaseproof board is ideal for bakeries, pastries, cake, pizza and any fried foods.
