Paper stands out as a packaging hero for several reasons. It’s renewable and recyclable, giving it a clear edge over plastics.

Koehler Paper is presenting Koehler NexPure® Wrap, a sustainable, lightweight packaging paper for fast-food products, to the public for the first time at the FachPack trade fair in Nuremberg, Germany, from September 27 to 29. The new paper, designed for burger and wrap packaging, has a grammage of 29.5 and uses natural raw materials for the barrier function. Koehler NexPure® Wrap is a sustainable fast-food packaging that is entirely free from fluorinated chemical coatings while offering the same properties. The product exclusively uses pulp from certified sustainable forestry and controlled sources as its primary fiber. Koehler NexPure® Wrap is the perfect addition to Koehler’s ‘Seal & Wrap’ campaign and, with its excellent grease barrier and adapted water vapor barrier, it is a fantastic alternative to solutions that are not fully recyclable, which are currently still in widespread use in fast-food system catering. Koehler NexPure® Wrap is primarily used in packaging for burgers, sandwiches, and wraps.
