"Despite lacking certain inherent properties such as grease or moisture resistance, paper has become an increasingly attractive option for food service use. Many applications used for "take-out" packaging are disposable products such as bags, wraps, bakery sheets, cups, etc., making paper a more sustainable option compared with other competitive materials," said William Studstill, director of graphic paper at RISI.
"Because this is a growing market, opportunities may exist for commodity graphic paper and packaging producers to convert their equipment to make these specialty food service grades," continued Studstill.
The study provides a detailed analysis of the growing food service paper sector. It focuses on barriers and opportunities facing potential entrants to the sector. The study examines global usage of this sector's key specialty grades and identifies the key companies producing in this market. Details include information on product lines, capabilities, and papers used.
