Eco-Friendly Food Paper That Performs Without Compromise
Switching to eco-friendly food paper does not have to mean sacrificing performance. Our compostable and recyclable food paper options are designed to match the grease resistance, strength, and printability of conventional food papers — with better end-of-life credentials. Glassine paper is an excellent eco alternative: made from wood pulp, it is naturally resistant to grease, fully recyclable, and biodegradable. Uncoated kraft paper is recyclable at most UK local authorities. Compostable wax papers use plant-based wax coatings certified for industrial composting. All eco grades are printable using water-based, food-safe inks that are compatible with composting and recycling processes.
