Twin Rivers Paper Co., South Portland, Maine, USA, a producer of lightweight specialty packaging, label, and publishing papers, reports that it has strengthened its commitment to sustainable packaging with the release of Acadia Natural, a compostable and recyclable paper made from unbleached pulp. This product design offers a natural substrate for packaging applications such as fast-food sandwich wraps, French fry and carry-out bags, and basket liners.
FDA-compliant for direct and indirect food contact, Acadia Natural is designed for Quick Serve Restaurant (QSR), food service, and retail food applications, where high performance and sustainability are essential. For oil and grease resistance, the new paper is available in an Acadia Natural OGR version. The company notes that both products provide excellent printability, runnability, and convertability to packaging applications.
Twin Rivers has operations in Maine and New Brunswick, Canada.
