Environmentally friendly food packaging papers mainly include plastic-free water-based coated paper, plant fiber pulp molded products, biodegradable coated paper, and natural fiber paper made from sugarcane bagasse, bamboo pulp, etc., possessing core advantages such as biodegradability, pollution-free, and resource renewability.

 

Main types and features:

Zero Plastic™ Water-Based Barrier Food Packaging Paper: Uses a water-based coating to replace traditional plastic lamination, achieving plastic-free, recyclable, and biodegradable packaging. It has passed food contact material certifications from the US FDA, German BfR, and Chinese GB, and is suitable for packaging scenarios involving direct contact with food such as hamburgers, sandwiches, and baked goods.

 

Plant Fiber Pulp Molded Packaging: Uses sugarcane bagasse, bamboo pulp, reed pulp, etc., as raw materials, and is molded into shapes such as lunch boxes, cup holders, and cushioning liners. It can rapidly degrade in the natural environment after use and is widely used in takeout containers, electronic product trays, and fresh food transportation. Xiaomi mobile phone packaging trays have adopted this technology, reducing the transportation damage rate by 80%.

 

Biodegradable Coated Paper Bags/Boxes: Coated with a bio-based film such as PLA (polylactic acid) or PHA on the surface of kraft paper or white cardboard, providing waterproof and oil-proof properties while being completely biodegradable under industrial composting conditions. Commonly used for disposable containers such as milk tea cups, coffee cups, and fast food packaging.

 

Pure Natural Fiber Packaging Paper: Kraft paper or specialty paper made from non-wood raw materials such as all-wood pulp, bagasse, and bamboo fiber. It is not plastic-coated and can be directly recycled or composted. Suitable for cooked food packaging, baking paper, oil-absorbing paper, etc. For example, the high-temperature sterilization laboratory kraft paper from Bickman Biotechnology is made of food-grade all-wood pulp.

 

Edible and Environmentally Friendly Packaging Paper: Made from soybean residue, fruit pulp, vegetable pulp, etc., it is water-soluble or directly edible. Used for seasoning packets, candy liners, etc., realizing the "zero packaging" concept and combining nutritional and environmental value.
