PFAS-Free Food Packaging

Genpak Launches a New Packaging Line Without Added PFAS

— February 28, 2024 — Eco
Food service packaging brand Genpak is introducing a new molded fiber packaging line designed to solve common packaging issues without causing side effects. This eco-friendly packaging line is designed with a commitment to environmental stewardship. It features products free from intentionally added PFAS (Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances), known for their detrimental environmental and health impacts.

The new molded fiber packaging line comprises a versatile range of containers, trays, and tableware, all carefully crafted to meet the needs of food restaurant operators seeking sustainable packaging solutions. Previously, PFAS were used to help prevent food items from sticking to packaging materials and cookware. The brand's new packaging aims to streamline the integration of eco-driven packaging policies for a variety of business uses.

Genpak's new molded fiber packaging can be explored through the brand's website.
