Our company BIOPAP® SRL will participate to the new edition of TUTTOFOOD that will take place in Rho-fieramilano from 22 to 26 October 2021 (hall 10P, stand C53). We will be glad to welcome our customers and visitors to our stand, where they will have the opportunity to discover the latest launches and discoveries regarding our biodegradable, compostable and recyclable BIOPAP® food trays.
This important certification was still missing to our long list of circular economy certifications. Compostability is about biological circularity: taking form nature and giving back to nature. Our unique approach remains to design our own raw materials, our own production process and our own trays, BIOPAP® is all about sustainability and performance. We have been the first to develop and produce biodegradable, compostable and recyclable food trays resisting to extreme temperatures, from freezing to baking applications. We have been the 3rd company in Italy, back in 2009, to achieve a CIC Compostable certificate according to EN 13432:2002 for industrial composting where the disintegration test is done on a real scale and not on a pilot scale or laboratory scale. We have decided to go even further an apply for the OK compost HOME® certification assessing the compostability in home composting conditions. OK compost HOME® certification requires the disintegration of the packaging to take place in more difficult conditions for the microorganism to play their role, with lower temperature and lower overall humidity. This ensures the product can disintegrate also in your backyard composter and therefore will disintegrate also very well at industrial scale. The OK compost HOME® certification S2251 is a further achievement to show the strong eco-design of BIOPAP® LC trays and the best compostability also in Home composting equipment. Together, CIC Compostability certification and OK compost HOME® certification ensure BIOPAP® LC trays perfectly compost in any scale operation, from your garden composter to the industrial composing plant of your municipality helping to reduce significantly the biological waste that needs to be incinerated or land filled.
A new perfect combination, the result of a joint research lasting over 6 months for premium salads able to satisfy the needs of a clientele focused on well-being with products and packaging in compliance with the whole natural cycle. The integrated quality supply chain from the field to the preparation of MIOORTO for the salad and the heat-sealed and compostable BIOPAP® printed bowls for the container. A technical and functional innovation that is immediately perceived both visually and to the touch. The salad is supplied without plastic dressing, all to convey the maximum naturalness of the product to the end customer.
Perth Inflight Catering is a family run and owned business in Perth, Western Australia. We predominantly make food for the regional Airline industry that service the mining in Western Australia. We also make food for some government hospitals and are creating a new line of heat and eat frozen meals. We realise that our industry is a main contributor to landfill waste for years and we are doing our best to reduce our negative impact on the environment. We have introduced 8 new streams of waste to divert as much as we can out of landfill. Another thing that we are making our priority is to be 100% rid of single use plastic by 2025 and we have already hit tremendous milestones for this and are so happy to have discovered BIOPAP through Natureline Packaging. We are in our very early stages of creating and trialling BIOPAP® for our new ready-made frozen range and have been very impressed so far! Although a lot of people are still asking for plastic, we are saying no and are educating potential customers on the positive impact we are making on the environment and changing their minds. Being in Australia and having an opportunity to use BIOPAP® has had its challenges due to distance and COVID, however we are committed to using this great new technology and spreading the message of using sustainable packaging here in WA and across Australia. We hope to use this across our entire range of meals for both on airport and off and are working our way towards that. We are very happy and so grateful to be able to use and to have been introduced to BIOPAP®through Natureline Packaging.
Hofmann Menu-Manufaktur, Quality leader in the German modern catering market, wins the gold medal of the German Packaging Award 2020 in the Sustainable development category. This prize is awarded annually by the prestigious German Packaging Institute (DVI). The choice of biodegradable and compostable BIOPAP® trays, which are resistant from freezer to any type of oven, allowed the German Caterer to persuade the jury.
The speech, is shot in an important Santiago central kitchen, at the forefront of sustainability, which uses the biodegradable and compostable BIOPAP® trays and the BIOPAP® Easy system for the meal delivery. The Minister reports the importance of hygiene and safety in the distribution chain of meals and the environmental value of composting in the end of life of food packaging. Mrs. Schmidt invites the restaurant sector, severely affected by COVID-19, to innovate and expand the service with takeaway and delivery as an opportunity for recovery and a new lifestyle offering and more service to consumers.
We have developed BIOPAP®Easy System to provide a professional system to prepare, pack, heat-seal and
deliver meals safely and hygienically for take-away and delivery applications. Today’s restauration models
promote take away and in particular home or office delivery of both hot and cold meals. One of the critical
points is the sealability of the containers which guarantees hygiene and absence of contamination during
deliveries and transport.
BIOPAP®, with its unique experience in compostable containers, dual ovenable and freezer resistant, has
created a light but professional system, inspired by large caterers conveying meal system.
BIOPAP®Easy System is composed of BIOPAP® containers, semi-automatic heat-sealing machine and
compostable sealing film designed to work perfectly together. Restaurants, cafeterias, street food, can now
have a multi-tested and reliable, fast and safe system to pack, seal and deliver quality food in biodegradable
and compostable containers, made from renewable raw materials. The best food, prepared with care, deserves
the safety and functionality of an all-made in Italy packaging system. We have combined the safety and speed
of industrial technology with the practicality, convenience and ecological nature of BIOPAP® compostable
containers.
Visionary intuition, perseverance, continuous innovation and sustainability have brought BIOPAP® into the register of Innovative SMEs. An important recognition that pushes us to continue on the path of continuous development, stimulating and accompanying our customers in transforming and enhancing their food products and services through the BIOPAP® compostable system, aligning the values of the products with the packaging, making them more pleasant, usable, functional and sustainable.
Thanks to all our customers who believe in us and share our spirit, together we create value for the environment and for all!
