SABERT is launching its latest innovation, PULPUltra, across Europe and the UK & Ireland.
The product is said to be an ‘ideal’ packaging solution for fresh, ready-to-eat dishes and hot foods. Made from over 95% bagasse fibres and treated with a barrier spray coating of <5%, Sabert revealed PULPUltra delivers ‘outstanding’ oil and grease resistance permeation in direct contact, hot food applications.
The solution has already been introduced in Ireland with bespoke childrens’ meal packaging and in France with the Gastronorme range.
PULPUltra is described as freezer-safe and able to retain frozen goods integrity, perishable goods freshness, and keep factory conditioned items intact. It is safe for use in microwaves, conventional ovens, and MerryChef applications, and is suitable for single PET sealing or multi-welding.
Sabert added that the packaging is recyclable, compliant with the European Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR), and certified as Compostable TÜV OK Compost Industrial. Home compostable certification will also be announced soon, the firm added.
“Over a decade ago, Sabert was the first to bring quality, functional bagasse pulp packaging solutions to the European market,” said Alex Noake, senior VP and MD for Sabert Europe. “Now, we are pioneering PULPUltra, a game-changing next-generation, no-intentionally-added-PFAS formulation that meets both legislative standards and customers’ expectations for superior strength and heat resistance.”
At launch, PULPUltra won the Green Apple Awards’ National Silver in the Paper & Packaging category, from The Green Organisation.
