Vancouver, BC – The restaurant and foodservice industry can soon add compostable wrap paper to its list of eco-responsible food product choices. BSI Biodegradable Solutions (BSI) unveiled its brand new Canadian-manufacturedBésics wrap paper line at the BC Foodservice Expo. The line includes a coated kraft wrap, oil and grease resistant wrap, and natural cellulose transparent wrap. In addition, BSI was awarded the best Exhibit Concept, Design & Presentation honours at the event.
“BSI is dedicated to developing and innovating new biodegradable foodservice products for the restaurant and foodservice industry” explains Susanna Carson, CEO of BSI Biodegradable Solutions. “We are extremely proud of the three new Bésic wrap papers. Wrap paper used for sandwiches, burgers, deli meats, and basket liners are usually thrown away with a long compost timeline. Our products can compost within 180 days under commercial & back yard compost conditions, reducing the amount of waste that enters our landfills.”
The three new items are BPI (Biodegradable Products Institute) certified compostable. The paper is Sustainable Forestry Initiatve (SFI) and Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified, and its resin is corn-based and food contact approved.
- Bésics Coated Kraft Wrap features unbleached kraft paper coated with Danimer ™ PLA. The coated wrap paper is ideal for all applications where a moisture barrier is required.
- Bésics Oil and Grease Resistant Wrap Paper features bleached sustainably forested paper blended with a fluorine free formula of oil and grease resistant additives.
- Bésics Natural Cellulose Wrap Paper is composed of the inner cells of woody plants/trees. Its transparent attributes make it great for fresh products.
“Our goal for the line is to stay true to our vision to create quality products with high environmental standards,” adds Carson. “Even these new products will improve over time. Our goal is to achieve 60 per cent post consumer recycled content in our paper products in the near future.”
