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.

This regulation will support farmers to use more organic fertilisers and this will contribute to the environment. Using artificial fertilisers needs a lot of energy for production. With this legislation we create a win-win situation for farmers, the citizens and the environment. It will support the health of citizens by production of healthier food from healthier soils.
Encouraging the use of the recycled organic products contributes to the Circular Economy. Today, only 5 % of organic products are recycled and used as organic fertilising products in Europe. With the adoption of this legislation the farmers will have access to a large range of natural fertilisers.
‘The provisional agreement of this regulation in the European Parliament is a great step forward to realise a circular economy in Europe’ said Stefanie Siebert, executive director of the European Compost Network. ‘The new regulation will open the European market for innovative and recycled organic fertilising products, like compost and digestate. Harmonised criteria and mandatory limits for all fertilising products will make farming more sustainable and will protect human health and the environment.’

BIOPAP® compostable food trays have been developed to perfectly integrate the biological cycle in the circular economy.
