KOEHLER Paper has revealed it is expanding its flexible packaging portfolio with the launch of Koehler NexPure Wrap.
The burger and wrap packaging paper is described as a ‘sustainable’ and ‘lightweight’ solution for fast-food products.
In 2019, Koehler Paper invested 300 million euros in flexible packaging paper with its new production line 8. Since then, the business said the largest MG paper machine in the world has been producing flexible packaging paper with barrier coatings with a range of functions. These include barriers to odours, grease, mineral oils, and gases.
The Koehler NexPure Wrap uses natural raw materials for the barrier function.
Christoph Wachter, director flexible packaging paper division at Koehler Paper, said, “With this new development, we have produced sustainable fast-food packaging that is entirely free from fluorinated chemical coatings while offering the same properties.”
The product uses pulp from certified sustainable forestry and ‘controlled sources’ as its primary fiber.
“Koehler NexPure Wrap is the perfect addition to our ‘Seal & Wrap’ campaign and, with its excellent grease barrier and adapted water vapour barrier, it is a fantastic alternative to solutions that are not fully recyclable, which are currently still in widespread use in fast-food system catering,” Mr Wachter added.
