BIOPAP® always aims to be at the forefront of developing sustainable, compostable and recyclable solutions for food packaging. True to our strategy of being an international leader in innovation and production of sustainable, heat-sealable food containers, we are proud to present BIOPAP® MAP.

After 4 years of intensive R&D, BIOPAP® MAP represents a milestone, a new family of cellulose-based food trays for modified atmosphere packaging. The study, which took into account the entire life cycle of the packaging, resulted in a new international patent covering the material and the containers derived from it with a special technology. This is a world innovation: the first paper-based container, disposable with food residues in the composting cycle or recyclable in the paper chain if not contaminated by food, designed to withstand extreme temperatures from -80°C without becoming brittle and up to +145°C without losing its mechanical characteristics. It is ideal for packaging food preparations that can then be easily heated in microwave or conventional ovens. BIOPAP MAP is suitable for contact with all types of foodstuffs without limitations for acidic, moderately alcoholic or high dairy foods. Perfectly heat-sealable with innovative cellulosic-based compostable barrier films, BIOPAP® MAP food trays offer shelf-lives superior to many single-material plastic containers and similar shelf-lives to multilayer plastic containers that prevent recyclability.All without having to resort to air transport with a huge reduction in CO2 emissions. Research on BIOPAP® MAP was intended to give a further push towards the sustainability of the entire food chain. We offer the food preparation industry product shelf life extensions thus reducing the risk of obsolescence and food waste combined with packaging made from renewable, non-agricultural and non-intensive raw materials. We also integrate into BIOPAP® MAP an end-of-life that is convenient for consumers and virtuous for the community by bringing renewable resources back into agriculture through the composting cycle, thus contributing to greater circularity and improved soil fertility.
