BIOPAP® high-performance compostable containers are used by the most demanding international caterers and the premium food industry. They stand out for the consistency and commitment from over 20 years of activity aimed at full sustainability.
During the ceremony Filippo Rossi said: “Since the beginning of our activity we have thought of creating products that, in addition to being functional for the end user, would impact on the environment as little as possible and that everything that was upstream of the product should be consistent with the product itself. As an example, the renewable raw materials used to produce our BIOPAP® trays come from certified European forests and 100% of our product range is certified PEFC”.
