Sabert Launches No-PFAS-Added Food Packaging Across Europe
Sabert Corporation Europe is launching its latest packaging innovation, PULPUltra, across Europe, the UK, and Ireland. The product has no intentionally added per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and is ideal for fresh, ready-to-eat (RTE) dishes and hot foods.
Made from more than 95 percent bagasse fibers and treated with a barrier spray coating of less than five percent, PULPUltra delivers oil and grease resistance (OGR) permeation in direct-contact, hot food applications.
Additionally, PULPUltra is freezer safe and able to retain frozen goods integrity, perishable goods freshness, and keep factory-conditioned items intact. It is safe for use in microwaves, conventional ovens, and MerryChef applications, and is suitable for single PET sealing or multi-welding.
The no-PFAS-added packaging solution is compliant with Regulation (EU) 40/2025 on PPWR, which comes into force in August 2026, introducing new measures that restrict toxic PFAS in food contact articles.
PULPUltra is also sustainable—it is considered “Green” in the UK’s Recycling Assessment Methodology (RAM), compliant with the European Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR), and is certified as Compostable TÜV OK Compost Industrial. Home compostable certification is forthcoming.
