UPM offers papers that are safe for direct food contact and suitable for regular paper recycling streams. Welcome to our world of sustainable packaging.
UPM's recyclable papers are suitable for most types of dry food packaging including bags, standing pouches, sachets, and wrapping. Our papers offer protection even without a plastic laminate. So why not choose a sustainable paper that is ideal for end-uses such as flour bags, sugar bags, and tea packaging? Emphasise the natural goodness of grains. Choose strength for heavier contents like rice. Or underline the indulgence of luxuries like premium pasta.
Our papers for dry food packaging offer unlimited opportunities to reduce your use of non-renewable packaging materials. All are produced using fibre from sustainably managed sources and are recyclable in regular paper recycling streams. Our papers tailored for dry food packaging are also safe for direct food contact.
UPM offers a large portfolio of packaging papers that comply with stringent food safety standards including BfR and FDA. All of our mills are ISO 22000-certified. Our barrier papers offer reliable protection against mineral oil saturated hydrocarbons (MOSH) and mineral oil aromatic hydrocarbons (MOAH).
94% of Europeans think products should be designed to ease recycling* – and in this day and age they expect your brand to agree. We help you to make recyclability easy. Our papers comply with Directive 94/62/EC on packaging and packaging waste and its amendments.
